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. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Complete garbage of a plugin.Make updates and the Modal’s don’t change. Create a new modal, the old one stays live. Change shortcode, no change.Remove the plugin and re-add it…same thing.Stay far away from this plugin.

   I tried several modal plugins. This was the only one that had all the features I required. This is easy to use and support is good. The interface has a nice design.
