Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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.

    There is defintely an idea behind this, I was looking for a way to create knowledge map on WordPress for my e-learning website, maybe it’s too simple for the moment (no way to customize it, no thumbnail support, no interactive behaviour except :hover, no custom position…) I encourage the developer to continue this plugin, it can be very cool !

    Works fine for categories, I did’t find out how to use for pages as well. It’d be great to include them for displaying working packages – the content of the sites (after opening) could be a detailed description of these packages. I wonder if the data created could be imported into a gantt-display of the cats and pages. It seems like having a big aproach to create an easy to use project managment tool using WP. Great work, I really appreciate!
