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. 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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    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 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.
