How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   this plugin solved my 2 problems; my wordpress ignores the img tag in comment textbox. editing php could solve this but it was quite tricky to me. and not-html-friendly visitor felt difficult to use img tag. and other problem was that I didn’t have enough traffic & storage. so I used other image hosting service(like imgur, etc) and linked to img tag manually,, but now I just need to paste link. nice.
