Lara's Google Analytics (GA4)

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 · 79% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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.

   This is an amazing tool that brings back the old Google Analytics vibe. It’s easy to use it to analyze your traffic, unlike GA4 that’s so cluttered and terrible to navigate. I wish they could add minimal analytics on this tool. But so far I’m using CAOS Analytics for that and they blend very well.

   I used to add this to all my websites and client websites but I am removing it everywhere. The plugin doesnt seem to load in all my properties. It must be an issue with the plugin as the properties load in fine with Analytify.
