Simple Login Log

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 · 41% 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.

   This is one of the plugins that always work. I can’t explain why, as I am a layman. But I know that it has been working flawlessly for the past 4 years for me. Thanks for the plugin Mr Chirkov. The wordpress search can’t find it by using search words Simple Login Log, we need to type Simple Login Log by Max Chirkov to get to it.

   This is a must have plugin if you build sites for others to use and maintain. Being able to identify the last user – before things went wrong – cuts time when called in to sort out any issues.

   So simple to install and activate. If you want to know who logs into your account, this will give you the information. Love it, love it, love it. This topic was modified 9 years, 8 months ago by cecev.

   Plugin seems to work pretty well, except for the fact that it does not seem to be picking up people who have opted for the “Remember Me” option on the login page, which makes it largely useless for my needs.

   Lovely, lovely plugin, allowing me access to some very useful information. I really like the fact you can also track failed logins and see what username they were trying to use – helps answer some of our website support enquiries! Thank you very much!
