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.

At the current install trend, crossing 200+ in roughly 1449 days.

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.

   Upon using it on my production site, I see that the plugin works perfectly. However, I see the following message on Query Monitor: Warning Trying to access array offset on value of type bool wp-content/plugins/hide-link/inc/hide-link-front.php:1093 Plugin: hide-link

   Don’t let the few reviews fool you! This plugin is simple and perfect! I was looking for an easy way to hide some links and my email address. Other plugins use a shortcode which didn’t always work in different parts of my website. This method works nearly all the time. I ran into one small issue when I tried to put #hide-this-link into a Spectra list block that I had put into a footer widget area. (I’m guessing there was just too much going on.) So, I just changed it to the regular bullet list block and it worked fine.

   I’m the author. This plugin became invisible after it received a bad review.The bad review was given because of a fixed issue, so I want people to see the plugin again in the search results. It works and can be useful to many users.
