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.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    By default the login session in WordPress never expire shortly, this can be a less security in some cases. this extension is what seems I need to decide the login cookie expire session and from my test seems it works! Thank you!

    The plugin is overly complex (I like my plugins to do just one thing) and puts two top level items in the wordpres menu. Also relies on javascript and ajax so it is not parrticularly robust Just do one job and do it simply and dont take over the admin and I´d be happy to give 5 stars

    Essential to be able to monitor sessions and delete unwanted or dormant sessions.

    the plugin works great! I needed that to be compatible with the LifterLMS plug-in, at first it wasn’t, but the developer was very responsive and found a way to make it work in a couple of days and released new version
