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 · 85% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

At the current install trend, crossing 200+ in roughly 262 days.

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.

   Running a small site to keep track of configuration and wiring details for alarms, power panels, network switches, telephone extensions, etc. I wanted to be able to use my phone’s camera and a QR code sticker on each unit to quickly bring up the related details from the site, while keeping the content private. Now I just password protect each page I create and generate a URL with this plugin that I can print as a QR code. Simple, and easy solution to keeping my content private and easily accessible. Two thumbs up and 5 Stars. This topic was modified 3 years, 3 months ago by creativeincomeopportunities.
