Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

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

Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    We had no idea WordPress even had these database tools. This plugin does exactly what it says it does in a very concise and intuitive way. Not really sure why it’s not got thousands of active installs! Good work. Oliver

    Just as I like the solutions that you offer on your blog. Very effective here also, where don’t need a lot of (bloatware) plugins for. Even if not all come with out of the box solutions, I really don’t mind but this one is simple and effective overall! Thanks!

    Easy to repair and optimize database tables on a site, almost idiot proof to use.
