What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

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.

    for two days i’m a it headache with ‘skip to main content’ in front page. after looking around to find a fix, found the way to do it, by converting all http into https. but it’s quite complex to find all the http inside the whole web. suddenly found this plugin, and thank god.. all http become https. thank you plugin’s author.

    I use this plugin on all of my WordPress websites. I can’t image not having it installed. No setup is required and it works flawlessly.

    I spent HOURS trying to make this happen, but a problem kept coming up… I had no idea what I was doing. AND everyone had a different redirect idea online. This plugin worked the magic quickly! Thanks! (I did have to restart Apache after installing the plugin for those using AWS Lightsail) This topic was modified 5 years, 5 months ago by lanceblocker.
