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
Est. acquisition value
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.

Works fine, what can I say! Furthermore, if you have a color switcher installed to swap the site to dark mode, it is possible to tweak the fade color via CSS so the fade color matches the dark and light modes. 😉

Perfect plugin. I using 1 second of fade effect and black color, so is like a black flash effect during the transition from a page to another. Nice job! Marco
