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

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.

    This is a great plugin. Using the default site icon as the logo for the default login page is a simple and effective method of making the page look integrated. Setting the logo link to point to the site home page is also a nice touch. Thank you.

    There are so many login customization plugins that try to do too much. Login Site Icon does exactly what it says without all the clutter and overkill.
