Jetpack VaultPress Backup

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

52 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 18 listed. 34 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.

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. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 18 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 90% of the way through.

   When will they start offering annual billing rather than monthly billing? All of the other vendors we deal with for our website, howardbirds.website offer annual billing, which makes our treasurer and board a lot happier! Bob Solem

   I was using Updraft but kept having problems. Jetpack has been solid-gold reliable!

   Something went AWOL on my website today, so a little tweak threw all the page widths out of whack and I nearly freaked out because I couldn’t track down the culprit. Then I took a deep breath opened Jetpack Vault Backup went back to earlier in the day when everything looked right and restored to that point … and voila my site was as it should be. I’ll be honest I didn’t think the backup service was worth the cost and had only been trying it out for a month to month while I launched my new site and handled a few tweaks. But after the ease of restoring my beautiful site in minutes has made me see the value of it.

   Jetpack breaks often causing my aawp plugin to ‘fail to fetch’ malfunction.

   The ability to restore to automatically-created restore points is invaluable. Every time you hit the “save” or “publish” button, a restore point is created. This makes it easy to restore to a point, say, just before the last page you updated. This is much more flexible than just restoring a previous full backup. Highly recommended!
