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.

I had the 404-plugin installed on two sites, and both had the “mixed content”-error when SSL was enabled. When I turned off the 404-plugin, everything was fine. This plugin causes an endless rediect loop.
