Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
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.

There’s a saying that well written clean code will always work. This plugin is just such a case in point. Last updated over 4 years ago but it works 100% perfect on WordPress 4.5.2. I needed a very simple widget to show my last updated posts on the frontpage in a widget and it does just that … and it does it perfectly too. A perfect little widget to let search engines know which of your content is no longer stale anymore. Thank you !!!
