Media Focus Point

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 · 100% 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.

At the current install trend, crossing 7K+ in roughly 134 days.

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.

   Really good plugin, does one job and does it well. Focus point is automatically used wherever the image is used on the site, more seamlessly than I expected. Nice.

   Great plugin, does exactly what it should. Only with very wide images, setting the focus point is not optimal. You have to experiment a bit.

   Just started trying this out on two client sites and it works great. I love that it’s nothing fancy, it’s just integrated right into the Media library like it should be, not some crazy fancy interface and custom area for no reason. Been looking for something like this for years, previously tried ACF Focal Point that was targeted specifically for ACF, it worked, but not great, and it’s long been abandoned years ago. This plugin works everywhere, not just ACF, and is simple, intuitive and just great.

   Great plugin! Setting image focus points is easy and only needs to be done once per image. All images are now perfectly aligned, especially on mobile. Highly recommend!
