Hit Counter Max

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 was looking for a simple plugin and this very straight forward and just what I need. It has a lot different types of hit counters with all doing the basic task counting hits. The only thing I might suggest is to count hits per site and not hits per page. For example as I navigate through my page I expect to get one hit but instead I get 10 because I navigated through 10 pages during my visit to the site. I use the setting Unique hits which I believe keeps track of unique hits by IP but it doesn’t necessarily track domain site visits. Overall it does what it saids.

   It’s simple and it works. You can choose a number to start at also. There could be a couple extra features but I don’t think the author has any plans.
