Simple Login Notification

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. 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.

At the current install trend, crossing 3K+ in roughly 153 days.

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Great little plugin. Simple UI and great functionality. Can you implement an option to use the login name in the subject of the email?

   This plugin is very light with virtually zero impact on performance. Provides peace of mind by alerting you if someone logs in to your site and best of all, the developer is a professional web developer specialising in Web Security and maintains the plugin regularly.

   Terrific plugin that works really well. I love how you have added the ability to email additional emails as well. Great security enhancement to know when admins login. Highly recommended.

   Thanks for this plugin. It fulfills its function and does exactly what it says in the description of the plugin. No unnecessary settings, no ads, and no cluttered interface. I love the plugins from Jeff Starr.

   Does what it says on the label and nothing else. I think I would also appreciate the editor login notification checkbox, but I 100% understand why that could be considered bloat.
