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.

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.

    I’ve been using this plugin for 4 years now. This is the first time I’m writing a review for a plugin, and I find it extremely useful compared to other professional plugins you may know. You should install it because it’s very easy to use. It’s different from other sitemap plugins in that every time you update images, you just need to generate it manually. If you’re used to auto-updates, this might seem inconvenient. But for me, I can control it and it automatically updates for me immediately. Other plugins update at specific times of the day. That’s the main difference, but otherwise, it’s perfect for sites like mine that need image indexing.
