Mechanic Visitor Counter

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 · 84% 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 use your plugin for about year and work very well even in WP 6.1. But I have question. How to add width and height to gifs used in counter? Page Speed Insights showing all the time- Picture elements does not have explicite width and height. Thanks Nelson

   This plugin works fine for version 5.1.1, but you have little option to modify the counter style and you have no facility to see how many IP addresses have been saved. Because of the Europaen GDPR it is important to know that. It would be rather nice to anonymise the user IP addresses.

   Very nice and useful plugin. Would be nice if you can set the starting counter separately for each stat, helpful for old blogs.

   The only part I don’t like is that if I deactivate it and re-activate it, I have to go and manually give a new starting number. It starts at 0 otherwise. That’s fine for a new blog, but you don’t want it to say “2 visitors total” when you’ve been around a while.
