MimeTypes Link Icons

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 · 50% 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.

   It works great! Nice choice of icons, activation for which one we need only in the settings, default is only pdf. It’s just simple and awesome! Works perfectly with Elementor builder, we don’t see the icon in the builder but in front it’s showing up nicely. Thx! Keep up the good work!

   The plugin works out of the box and does exactly what it says: showing icons + filesizes next to uploaded files. Thank you for developing this gem!
