Link Diagnostics – Broken Links, Redirects, and Link Insights

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.

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.

   I used this plugin to fix internal links after changing a large number of URL slugs for SEO purposes. Other tools can detect broken links too, but you still have to edit them manually. When you have hundreds of them, that quickly becomes time-consuming. This plugin is a fantastic time-saver for that task. However, I couldn’t use it everywhere because many of my texts are in the Product category, which cannot be scanned at the time of writing. It would be great if the Product category could be added to the scan list (and perhaps the Post category as well).
