kURL – Short URL Manager for YOURLS

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

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 · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

At the current install trend, crossing 30+ in roughly 45 days.

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Thank you so much for developing the perfect companion plugin for my YOURLs. It just makes everything so easy. Especially with a large resource site, the current permalinks are long, my self hosted YoURLs was one step forward in keeping in line with overall branding with a short domain. The only thing I was lacking was a connection between my website and the shortner in YOURLs. Your plugin just launched in the nick of time as I’m undertaking a major project. Thank you so much!
