f(x) Builder

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.

   I’ve used several Page Builders, but none integrates as perfectly as the f (x) Builder plugin. Clean design, very lightweight and easy to use make this plugin essential for any WordPress site. Please continue with this beautiful development, I sincerely do not know if it needs any improvement, it is perfect for me. Many thanks to the developer!

   I mean it works without me thinking how to use it), which is unbelievable for a builder. Simple and efficient. I tried it yesterday when it was alpha, today is beta, I liked UI improvement. Great potential!

   No bells and whistles, just a plain and simple page builder, with a FULL editor at our disposal. Perfect for those who create their own themes or shortcodes or use some quality shortcodes plugins. What’s really amazing is that it add 0 (ZERO) strain on the server – the page loads are exactly the same with this page builder active or not. If you are using a shared hosting, and especially if you are using a “heavy” plugin like Woocommerce, and if you want to have a page builder without effecting the speed of the site, then besides a good theme and agood cache plugin, this is the page builder to use. I cannot specify how excited I’m with this, I hope they don’t add too many things to it. There are a million other page builders that have plenty of features, at the expense of speed and memory (RAM). We needed at least one that is extremely lightweight, and this is it. Besides, there is no way any builder plugin can compete with Visual composer, so dominating a different niche is very clever. If anything that needs to be added, the ability to have full width content when the theme is fixed width, ala Visual Composer, or SiteOrigin. The Divi builder plugin and the Beaver builder plugin fail miserably with this.
