Biggest opportunity: Swap “chrome” for “chrome push notifications”. “chrome” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “chrome push notifications” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

1.9%

of downloads still active

At least 1K of 51.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,770 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

This plugin shipped 1 release in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

    El plugin funciona, en lo poco que ofrece en su versión gratuita. Prácticamente no permite configurar nada más que el texto de la notificación. El uso sobre cualquier funcionalidad implica pagar.

    I removed OneSignal after 2 years of good service, because I became concerned of their privacy policy. At the moment there are few similar services that promise do not SELL to third party the web notifications user data… I found PushCrew and PushAlert. I choosen PushAlert because they give CTA buttons on all plans, even the free (I subscribed a paid plan to have even more). The support has been excellent and faster, and also the plugin is faster to configure than OneSignal’s one. Their web panel also is simple. Very satisfied at the moment 🙂 This topic was modified 8 years, 10 months ago by trdrst.
