Firebase Authentication

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

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

17 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 8 listed. 9 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

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 · 27% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 2 months ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 500.

   It’s just stupid to install the plugin as it ALWAYS asks you to pay before using it. I will not use any of the plugins by mini orange.

   Such great support. Purchased the premium plugin and the team spent over and hour on a call to help discuss my specific use case. Ended up needing a small customisation – which was fast, smooth and affordable. Would highly recommend!

   As being quite new to Firestore/Firebase I was initially a little unsure about purchasing this plugin, but from the very start the plugin was easy enough to use and the support that these guys provide allowed me to accomplish exactly what I wanted. I sent a few emails back and forth to the support team who were always quick to respond, and even get on a video call with me to help me set-up everything. I ended up combining this with the Firestore integrator plugin, which is equally straightforward and very well supported. For Firestore/Firebase integration I highly recommend this plugin. You won’t regret it.

   First off let me start by saying this plugin has been a godsend. It’s the only reliable plugin I have found (and I tried them all) for connecting WordPress with Firebase Authentication. So don’t even waste your time with anything else, trust me, I wasted months trying to make other solutions work to only end up with this plugin in the end. I have been using it for almost 2 years now with no issues. In the beginning, I was new to using Firebase and didn’t really know how it worked. Their support team went above and beyond in helping me. Always responding within 12 hours and always able to get on a zoom call to troubleshoot and help me with my issues. 2 years later and everything we did still works like a charm. I also wanted to do some things that were not supported by the plugin initially and they were able to accommodate and custom code the functionality for me. And they did it within a week no less! Miniorange is the benchmark I judge all other WordPress plugin developers. I can’t say enough nice things about them.
