Mime Types Plus

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 · 73% 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.

   I don’t know whats wrong with those people complain about a perfect product. It works right out of the box and when something is missing you can ad it by your self … and when you don’t know why its not working, wtf there is a support button on here -> get there and ask! This is worth 5 stars as it saves me a lot of time on every WP installation. Thank you and keep up the good work! Dennis

   It takes a few minutes to get used to the usage of the plugin. It works on 5.0.3, lets me add all files I need so far and seems to be very lightweight. But: Please, make this more intuitive. Use words like “Add” or “Delete” instead of just placing a random update-button.

   Sorry to say that the logic of the settings page makes no sense. Grayed areas that you can’t do anything with make it difficult. Now I add my mime type of .mp4 and it doesn’t even work.
