Simple Google Calendar Outlook Events Widget

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 · 51% 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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   Sleek plugin with options to customize (color, font, background, synchronization interval), provides for a nice and clean lay-out. Integrates smoothly with my webpage. I received fast and excellent support from the developer when I ran into a minor issue. Definitely 5 stars!

   Its a great plugin, that does what it should. Getting calendar data from a http source in ICS-Format and displaying it as a nice little widget. Big shoutout to the maintainer, he‘s responding very quick to questions or problems. Awesome work!
