Longer Permalinks

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

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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 75% 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.

   I was looking for a solution on Google, and I could not find something to help me increase the 20-character limit on blog post URLs. I found this plugin and I activated it, and it immediately solves my problem. So thank you!

   This plugin is amazing and works perfectly without any issues. I think this plugin is a must for users who have Arabic URL, with this plugin you can use the full length of your Arabic post title as a URL, helps with SEO and makes your URLs look more professional. I am using this plugin in a Multi-site Multilingual WordPress and it’s working perfectly. It’s free and their support is fast, amazing & cooperative. Thank you!

   Tried to change warchar(200) to text in many related tables – only ruined the site. Thanks to this elegant plugin my bad days are over. Big service to WP community, indeed.
