Perfect Font Awesome Integration

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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 78% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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.

   Clear instructions, right-sized option set. Looking up the class for each icon up on the fontawesome site could get cumbersome if you are using a lot of icons, but if you just need a few, this is a great, lightweight solution.

   The plugin works great, but the average user will be difficult to deal with Font Awesome classes and CSS colors. It would be nice to add a selection of icons as in plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-font-awesome/ and color selection as in plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/dco-shortcodes-menu/. P.S. If you will properly prepare plugin for localization, I can help with translation to Russian language :).
