Update activity

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

Actively maintained

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

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.

    这个插件会增加两个jQuery文件,而且不会删除旧的,本来一个jQuery变成了3个,我立即禁用了这个插件,结果新增的两个jQuery文件被删除了,可是这两个文件的链接还保留着,出现了两个404的jQuery文件。我无法解决这个问题,最后只得恢复了安装该插件之前的镜像才解决问题。

    There is no any type of code review before submit an update, my site broken twice after “wrong” update. I do not recommend this plugin.

    When I check my jquery version it’s 1.11.3. I’m getting hit on my “Best Practice” rating because of security issues relating to my jscript so I used this to update. I did nothing and I couldn’t find any options after it installs.

    1. Do you just install it and it automatically updates Jquery? 2. Do I leave it installed and active? 3. Will it autoupdate Jquery in the future or do I need to install it again for it to run? 4. How do I manually run it? Thanks!
