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
Occasionally updatedHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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.

Just installed this plugin on the multisite for our customer and it easily works.

Unfortunately so many plugins are a mess because they try to do everything and don´t follow standards. As such I have had to write literally 100s for my own needs, some of which I have releaed in thsi repository. So it is refeshing when I find a plugin like this that does only one thing, does its well,a and does so without taking over wp-admin in some way. Great work

This is a simple and effective plugin, great for my WordPress multisite network. Allowing the authors to display custom author bio for each subsite. Wonderful. Thanks.

I have a personal multisite installation with numerous sites of varying content. Some require stoic professionalism in the bios, some not. Some must emphasize different aspects of the authors. For example, one is a humorous blog, one is a product documentation website. This plugin makes it easy for all personalities to be displayed on the appropriate site.
