SearchWP Modal Search Form

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 · 98% 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.

   I have used this plugin on all my websites and it works great. Simple install and set-up. I even have it on the top right corner of my website and as a menu item so mobile users can easily access it. I highly recommend this plugin. Great job programmer’s!

   Had one minor (if a little strange) issue, but it was fixed within a few hours. Works really well.

   Massive fan of SearchWP so I wound not expect anything other than a brilliant plugin that I’m sure I’ll use on many projects.
