Increase upload file size & Maximum Execution Time limit

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 · 56% 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.

   After installation you can only input file size to increase but nothing available to increase the max execution time. Even though max execution time is in the name of the plugin. I’ve installed it in brand new install with no other plugin and that’s what I got. There is no chance that it was interfering with something else.
