Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

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

Estimated value

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. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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.

    Thank you so much. At last a simple, lightweight plugin that works! No upselling or additional frameworks. And it adds itself discretely and sensibly in the WP menu system. This topic was modified 5 years ago by Anonymous User 652281.

    Seriously, this plugin is so freakin’ helpful. I work on a lot of sites that I have set up on my local development machine and don’t have outgoing email set up on purpose. Only rarely do I need access to test those emails. But when I need it, it’s typically urgent. This plugin has completely saved the day multiple times over the past month. Thank you so much for the great work!
