Post Snippets – Custom WordPress Code Snippets Customizer

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 · 24% 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Been using this product for almost a year now. It is a huge help for adding codes seamlessly. It has a user-friendly interface which is really perfect for beginners. It also covers a wide range of code types which even experts in the field will find helpful. It has enhanced our workflow and saved us a huge amount of time. Most important of all is the prompt response from their customer support. First thing everyone should look for when subscribing to something.

   When PostSnippets unexpectedly wouldn’t allow me to create, duplicate or edit I contacted support. After some troubleshooting, support offered to log in to the site and explore. They quickly determined the problem and wrote a custom function to restore PostSnippets. Very happy with support
