Lessify WordPress

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 · 47% 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.

   The less style sheet is showing up before the child theme style sheet in the source, and I’m not sure how to change this. I wish there was documentation about how to set this up for child themes. Otherwise, it seems good.

   I tried several plugins to compile a .less-file on the server, this was the only one that did the job. You have to make some adjustments though (enqueue the .less file and dequeue the “old” style.css if there is one) . And the css-version is stored somewhere out of sight, but as I mentioned before: It works.
