Hungry Resource Monitor

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 300+ in roughly 301 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.

   Does what it says on the tin, looks great. Its light weight. Defiantely on my ‘must use’ list for all new installs

   I’ve tried quite a few performance/debugging plugins, but this one is surprisingly practical and lightweight. It gives clear visibility into memory usage, database queries, and execution time without overwhelming you. What I really like is the combination of monitoring + cleanup tools — being able to spot resource-heavy plugins, clean up database bloat, and even manage cron jobs from one place is super useful. The email reports are a nice touch as well. Overall, a very well-thought-out plugin that actually helps you understand why your site is slow, not just tell you that it is. Highly recommended for anyone serious about WordPress performance.
