Post Admin Word Count

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 · 98% 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.

   I really like this plugin, just what I was looking for. I would like to update oldest posts with better content, so I wanted to order all posts and start from those where there is barely something written. This plugin works ok without any errors, even though sadly it wasn’t updated in a while. Hopefully the author didn’t ditch this plugin, it really is useful.

   Was fiddling myself to get the count in the admin posts overview, but this sollution is clean and simple, did some tweaking to get the column on the right spot for me 🙂

   The plugin works perfectly, but it is annoying that the column is much wider than needed
