GutenTOC – Advanced Table of Contents

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 · 70% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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.

   This plugin is good. It works well and deserves 5 stars, but it has an invalid CSS class. .gutentoc.tocactive { widows: 100%; } This doesn’t work for me. It would probably be width:100%. Or, I could be wrong!

   Great plugin, works fine and comes with numerous well thought-out options – thanks for this!! Some suggestions / things I’d love to see in a coming version: Make the source JS readable (currently completely minified) and as such editable / understandable – I cannot contribute if it is obfuscated like this… Would love to see the numbering of the second (third, …) levels reflect the parent numbers – by that I mean level 1 with levels 1.1 and 1.2 instead of having level 1 repeat level 1, level 2, etc. Make the plugin translatable via WP’s coding standards so I can change the labels accordingly without editing plugin code directly Regards

   This plugin does a good job, but it has multiple accessibility issues (invalid list code, TOC title isn’t a true heading, open/show TOC not keyboard focusable…).

   This plugin is working perfectly as per requirement. Only one thing is that “rankmath seo plugin” doesn’t detect this plugin, therefore getting low SEO score. Please follow the Rankmath guide to add this functionality. Thanks.

   Automatically sets table up with tags. Smooth scrolling is nice. Simple yet elegant. Please add support for Rankmath.

   Very nice plugin. Absolutely perfect. One suggestion – maybe you want to add it as a widget as well in the sidebar which floats down as you scroll highlighting the section you are in. Regards V
