GD Mail Queue

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 · 81% 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’m endorsing the comment made two comments below mine:“Frankly, I’m surprised that this plugin isn’t installed on 100k+ WordPress sites. Not only does it do a great job, I’m truly impressed by the rich set of features it offers. Thanks, Milan!“ This plugin is amazing. I’m stunned that it doesn’t already have at least 100,000 active installations. A hidden gem within the WordPress ecosystem.

   If you don’t use other 3rd party services for sending mails, for phpmailer, this is the best plugin you can find for free in the wordpress repository. Literally the best that it made me forget FluentSMTP. Hoping someday I would upgrade to pro version of the plugin whenever required.

   I looked high and low for a plugin like this and couldn’t find anything that throttles emails according to what my server could do. GD Mail Queue was the only plugin that helped me successfully send the volume of emails that my business requires. Frankly, I’m surprised that this plugin isn’t installed on 100k+ WordPress sites. Not only does it do a great job, I’m truly impress at the rich set of features it has. Thanks Milan!

   Unique plugin that addresses certain caveats and problems. Queuing is fantastic, I just bought the pro plugin. Something you can’t do with wpsmtp plugin.
