Picturefill.WP

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 · 100% 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.

   From what I gather, WordPress Core will integrate components of Picturefill into the Core with a future release. It has begun here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/ricg-responsive-images/changelog/. In my opinion, seamless integration with the WordPress Media Library and Uploader will be extremely important for it to work right.

   Worked out of the box. Only issue was my theme already used an outline on span elements, which resulted in outlines around the span data src tags this plugin produces. Easily fixed in my CSS by adding border:0 to div.entry-content span

   Incredible easy solution for such a huge payoff. I’m very impressed, it just works! Maybe you have to override the default image sizes but that super easy as well. Every responsive WordPress site should use this plugin!
