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.

What its installed base runs

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.

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.

    I wish purge option is available from the plugin. Seems like the plugin development is suspended for some reason. Great CDN service, but poor execution of WordPress integration.

    great idea to have a Gcore CDN plugin, but execution is poor. The url replacement doesn’t seem to work the AmaranJS and jQuery dependencies are 8+ years old, it’s a huge security risk is_admin isn’t used in the ajax/save.php, it’s another security hole blank_tpl.php should be removed PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: count(): Argument #1 ($value) must be of type Countable|array, null given in wp-content/plugins/g-core-labs-cdn/includes/front-cdn.php:27 This topic was modified 3 years, 1 month ago by sonique6784.
