PWA for WP – Progressive Web Apps Made Simple

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.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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.

   I run a small website and was having issues with mobile download speeds. I made several tweaks to the website, and decided to try PWA for WP. It made a huge difference to mobile download speeds, from a performance of around 68 to 99. Amazing results. As the website is e-commerce and most of my traffic is from mobile, I hope it makes it easier for customers to repeat purchase

   I have never enabled an auto renew for this plugin but they have been charging my card for years without ever using this plugin. When mentioned to them they are not willing to help whatever. Makes sense as this plugin is terrible for your website and overall performance, they need every cent they can get. Stay away from this shady company.

   I’ve just started using PWA for WP. We use a self-developed time tracking system for our field engineers. Many of our engineers are often abroad in areas with no or poor internet connection. Without having to invest in an app first, we’d like to try this plugin. It seems very promising so far. We will test it in the coming months. The support from Magazine3.com Support Team is great. They are very helpfull!

   I’ve been using this plugin for several months now and I’m absolutely thrilled with the exceptional quality of the code. Everything runs smoothly and efficiently, which indicates careful and professional development. The clean structure and well-documented functions make it extremely user-friendly and easy to extend. I would particularly like to highlight: Stability and Performance: The plugin runs without any errors or crashes. It has clearly been thoroughly tested. User-Friendliness: The interface is intuitive, making it easy for even less experienced users to handle. Flexibility: The extensive customization options provide ample room for individual adjustments. One small suggestion for improvement: It would be fantastic if the plugin offered an installation banner for iOS. This would further enhance the user experience and allow mobile users to install it seamlessly. All in all, an excellent plugin that I highly recommend to every WordPress user. Thank you to the development team for their outstanding work!
