Simba Plugin Updates Manager

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 · 100% 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.

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.

   Very nice and helpful plugin for all plugin developers who not like to publish their plugins on wordpress.org but like the update checker and update options.

   The wordpress.org ratings system shows zero stars, which makes people assume the plugin is rubbish, until the first review appears. So, please excuse the self-review. I commend this plugin to you – versions of this code has been delivering many thousands of downloads to customers at updraftplus.com since 2013.
