IE Check

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

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.

   Fantastic plugin. Communicates the message well with a little tongue-in-cheek. Good array of confrontational options.

   A sympathetic little plugin (5 star), although it could do with an update (that’s why only 3 stars). What I like: – it only puts extra script in your pages when it needs to (when it detects the set IE versions) – the link to browser upgrades points to a site that always has the latest versions of all major browsers – simple, but enough custom options (message, supported IE versions) – the message page looks tidy/modern But beware: – the layout of the message page looked a bit messed up compared to the screenshot, and looked different in IE 8 and 7. I’m not sure what’s causing this: the theme or WP 3.9? Maybe some CSS overlapping the theme’s CSS? I had to put in some extra lines in my theme’s style sheet to correct this. – Also I couldn’t find the option to disable the dismiss button mentioned in the description. But I decided to use it anyway.
