How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
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.

Got this for my website and purchased the pro version. It gives me a report (mine was 5,500 items) but there is nothing to fix the problems. No actionable buttons so far as I can tell. So, it’s junk that I’ve wasted time and money on. This topic was modified 2 years, 10 months ago by floridagameshow.
