Simple Side Tab

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 · 76% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   Simple slide in tab is a fantastic plugin that I have been using on other sites for years. “Discreet”, yet powerful at the same time. It works perfectly, load fast and is always updated. Scot, the author is very responsive!

   Ok, firstly I want to thank you for making this awesome easy to use plugin. But I do feel a bit silly – I should have checked it out years ago, finally got off my butt tonight and it was simple to set up and use (unlike everything else I’ve been trying to do on my site recently). So thanks again. And you seem to offer great support judging by the comments from Scot so thank you! Don’t listen to the haters you’ve done well, great work. Helps us small business owners who struggle against the giants these days with online shopping and fb ad rip-offs.

   A great simple solution to adding a tab to my site. The previous comment that the link only goes to the developers website is not true. Once you edit and add your own URL it is permanently set.

   Yes this plugin is easy to install and use. But if you notice it automatically creates the link to developers website rumspeed.com. even if you change it, it will get updated to the old url. Vinoth
