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

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.

    All my compliments to the coder of this little handy plugin. You avoid to me to argue with WordPress database, thank you. I hope you’ll keep this plugin simple (and updated, only when will be necessary). UPDATE: Also with WordPress 5.8.x it works perfectly! This topic was modified 7 years, 4 months ago by Steven Stern (sterndata). This topic was modified 4 years, 10 months ago by Annonnimmo. Reason: update wp 5.8
