How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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

Est. acquisition value

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    I had 100-200 404 errors per week, all caused by a series of errors I made with language translators. My SEO program just couldn’t fix this. I installed Link Juice Keeper and my 404 errors went to ZERO, OOOO, ZERO!!! Overnight. So easy, and perfectly coded. Work great with all my plugin and theme, This is going on all my sites.!!!!

    I installed this plugin to one of my sites, and it worked so well that I installed it on all of them. It does one simple thing, but does it well and a side benefit is that it discourages spammers. I’m not sure exactly why, but for some reason it does. So yeah, this should be in the standard set of plugins for WordPress.
