Pluginception

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 · 99% 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.

At the current install trend, crossing 5K+ in roughly 214 days.

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.

   This is definitely the best idea ever! No risk any more to edit things that will get overwritten on next update. This is very smart and works as expected. This topic was modified 5 years, 3 months ago by bnirlo.

   I needed to modify the Restrict Content Pro plugin membership form, and was advised to add the modified code to a plugin using Pluginception. Very easy and straightforward to use.
