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
Actively maintainedHow 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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

Good plugin, works very well

Great plugin. It has all the features I wanted.

I put the counter to the footer section but on top left corner it occurs also just the statistic icon and a running icon below the statistic icon. I run the website by a purchased theme. I ask for a solution to remove the icons on the top left corner in the wordpress forum but still no answers to my question. Any suggestions?

It counts every reload, and you can’t turn of the graphic icon….

Works as expected.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ vacklin4.0y ago
Works great! I wish it had a way to check the stats from from dashboard instead of having to go to the post or page to check visits but still an excellent tool.

This is really perfect simple and effective solution for the views statistics.

It counts. That’s what I wanted and that’s what I got. For FREE, yet.
