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.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow 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
Est. acquisition value
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.

New update very pleased me, I’ve been using this plugin for a long time, but I had some problems with the new version of PHP. Plugin has changed quite a great, but everyone is afraid of something new, I hope that the plugin will develop further.

The plugin has not been updated for a long time, but suddenly I saw an update to this plugin and I was wondering, the new version has a nice interface and a useful option for caching analytics scripts. Continue the development, I hope the plugin will be updated more often!
