SendWP

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

5 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 3 listed. 2 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

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 · 90% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 2 years ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

   I was having issues getting our emails sent and received promptly. SendWP helped me sort out the issues with our DNS configuration and gave me exemplary professional support! It took some time to figure out the issues, but their support was always positive and helpful. I never felt that they just wanted to close the ticket like most support systems do these days.

   I was able to solve a sticky client issue within 30 minutes. This is something I have needed for a long time. An elegant solution to a tricky problem. I immediately bought it for my own website and will be pretty much forcing clients to use this service. Thanks Matt, great plugin!

   I had found the SendWP plugin while searching for an alternative to Amazon SES. The pricing structure is very simple, which I like. However, it is also essential for European website operators that the selected third-party providers and partners comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), or who provide some basic company information, which is unfortunately not the case here. There is no information about who exactly operates the service and where they are headquartered. However, this information is mandatory according to the GDPR. Because as a website operator in the EU, data processing agreements must be concluded with third-party providers from certain countries that process our customer data (here: e-mails from visitors, users, customers etc.). Because, the headquarters of these third-party providers used must be stated in one’s own data protection documentation. Unfortunately, these are the requirements. So I tried to contact the provider to find out this information. But unfortunately, already here in the support forum, the first message (READ THIS FIRST) points out that no support is provided. Unless you register an account on their website, but in turn you need to pay to create an account, no matter what. So it is neither possible to test the plugin or the service, nor is it possible to get legally important information about the provider without creating a paid account. These are all red flags in my eyes and although I have not yet been able to test the plugin and its quality. For this reason, I cannot recommend it in any case.

   Sent a support request at end of day (UK) and had a response and fix by following morning from SendWP. Received a prompt response and a patch was quickly deployed to fix the server problem. Very impressed by our friends across the pond 👍 This topic was modified 4 years, 4 months ago by fozi71.
