reBusted!

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 · 78% 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.

   This is a great tool for advanced developer. It saves you from manually versioning your css/scripts or devising your own versioning solutions based on system time which would reload css/js every time, slowing a page load. This ensures only changed styles/scripts are reloaded. Five stars!

   It does the job. You upload or do changes to the css, js of the site, and with just pressing the F5, everybody gets the new changes.

   The style.css just wouldn’t update any more, nothing I did helped. Version numbers, flushing caches, tried all the tricks I found in the net. The domain and site owner wouldn’t answer my msgs. After hours of frusration I installed this, and.. aaaaahh! Like sunshine after a year of rain. Thank you for this plugin. Great work.

   A simple and efficient plugin avoiding ugly displays when updating CSS, particularly with design builders where css can’t be completely controlled. Version 1.1 perfectly working out of the box. Thanks!

   This plugin has been a godsend for Beaver Builder sites where the CSS version number is impossible to update (even with its own cache clearing tool).
