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. 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.

    Most of the delays in WP admin are http phone home calls. This plugin solves exactly that, and you can see who the worst culprits are, too! This belongs on every WordPress site by default. Thanks for your amazing work @veppa ! (Small request: can we have a setting to tweak that max page loading time down from 3 seconds? Perhaps options for 3.0, 2.5, 2.0, 1.5, 1.0, 0.5, maybe 1.5 as the default?)

    It is really a very useful tool. It could be much more handy in use if I didn’t have to open each request to see the HTTP method (GET, POST, …) but it would be displayed directly in the table after “Status” for example.Anyway, thanks for the excellent plugin!
