Simple SEO Improvements

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 · 88% 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.

   There are a lot of SEO plugins but all of them put a lot of stress not on the way our WP is running – they have a lot useless features and thus very often tend to corrupt. Simple SEO Improvements plugin has all essential that such a plugin needs to have – and simultaneously do not make our WP unstable. IMHO it is the must choice for everybody that really wants to have light WP that runs stable. This topic was modified 4 years, 5 months ago by Sebastian Misniakiewicz.
