from wp.org release tags

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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    I normally try and build very fast loading websites, however my client wants to publish a huge website and it takes a couple of minutes to load a page (it links to 2943 other pages) even with a 128GB or ram server it takes a while to load. This shows it is loading even though nothing looks to be happening. I have suggested smaller selections i.e. only link to 1000 other pages but the customer is always right!
