SEO Ultimate

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.

   Don’t install this plugin! When I updated my php version to 8.3, this plugin broke my site and I only found out that it was due to this plugin after I deactivated every single plugin one by one. But no wonder, the last update was 10 years ago.

   There is no way to contact this developer. No support. No anything. Support methods listed on the website do not work or the developer (Jeffery) ignores them. If you subscribe, you won’t have any way to unsubscribe. You cannot log into the website to manage your subscription, licenses on domains, or receive updates. You cannot reset your password, the email never arrives. I managed to contact Jeffery directly once through a clue given in an email header. You may want to explore that, if only to get yourself in. Even if you log in, you cannot unsubscribe yourself from the plugin. The plugin is not compatible with current versions of PHP (8.x) It still works on early versions of PHP 7, which is now unsupported and a security risk. Former subscribers are charged annually for a service they can’t unsubscribe from. Some licenses cost $500 USD. WordPress should remove this plugin from the directory. It is too bad. This was once among the best SEO plugins. It is now just a scam. Jeffery should at least step up and cancel all subscriptions….

   I needed to cancel the subscription for the plugin but my login id and password didn’t work and the same for the reset password link. After a few back and forth, the issue has been resolved and my money refunded. Thank you for your help. This topic was modified 3 years, 3 months ago by pawprintcreationsllc.

   I hear the paid version is phenomenal, but I would never use the free plugin on a client’s site or any website I cared about. To be fair, the developer warned the plugin would no longer be updated to fit new versions of WordPress–possibly leaving your site open to hacking/vulnerabilities. So this is less of a complaint to Jeff and his team, and more of a confirmed warning to would-be users to 100% avoid installing this.
