HSTS Ready

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 · 62% 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.

   j’ai installé ce plugin après avoir galéré pendant quelques heures à essayer d’activer hsts via le htaccess sur mon hébergement mutualisé ionos mais il y a quelques chose qui m’échappe. Ce plugin semble fonctionner parfaitement. Merci au développeur pour le partage.

   Thanks you developer for making this plugin I test with https://hstspreload.org/ and it’s the first time i’ve used an hsts plugin that takes the confusion away and makes things simple.
