Log HTTP Requests

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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 68% 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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   This plugin has proven to be an indispensable tool for tracking and analyzing HTTP requests. Its ability to reveal whether a request was made, along with detailed insights into the transmitted data and received responses, is simply remarkable. The clarity it provides is instrumental for troubleshooting and optimizing processes. A must-have for anyone dealing with HTTP interactions

   This plugin is so helpful for tracking down whether an HTTP request was made at all, and when it was, what data was sent and what response was received. It’s invaluable for tracking down bugs tied to unexpected responses and requests.

   After installing this plugin I noticed a lot of requests being made to one site. It turns out that there was a bug in the caching of the request data, and it was being made on every page load. Fixing this has given a big performance improvement. Thank you.
