Password Passthrough

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 · 71% run the current release. 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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Great plugin that does exactly what it says and nothing else. No configuration, just works. Love it.

   This WordPress plugin for sending passwords for password-protected pages in a WordPress-Site via URL is great. It offers a convenient way to share passwords via URL when needed, saving time and hassle. Great for specific use cases, but ensure it’s used judiciously to maintain security.

   I just tried it with WordPress 5.1 and it seems to be working fine. I hope it continues to get updated since there doesn’t appear to be anything like it.
