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.
Release cadence
Occasionally updatedHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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
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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

Saved me dramas when I need to update a client’s website and he is posting an article without me knowing and then I lose it with the updates. Not any more!

On a membership site for business users we do updates outside business hours but our members also work outside business hours. No matter the time of day we know if it is safe to do updates without causing them problems. Much easier to feel comfortable doing your work and not as rushed.
