Featured Image Generator

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 · 89% 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.

   it’s useless if you don’t pay. They ask you to go to their site, otherwise it’s absolutely just ok to search for images on unsplash. Not recommend

   Great idea! You can edit your featured images just like in Photoshop, but right into WordPress. Super convinient and free.

   I normally download images manually from unsplash to use as feature images. This plug-in saves me lots of time and eases of my blogging. Getting the API is a bit confuse at first but the documentation is very well written. Awesome, I love it.
