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.

    Simple and effective plugin. Thanks! An interesting improvement would be to offer a shortcode that would allow you to list the sitemap wherever you like (that would replace or not the function in Settings > Reading which is not ideal in my opinion).

    I followed the instructions and couldn’t get it to work. It seems like you have to add all your links on the editor which is pretty useless This topic was modified 3 years, 8 months ago by flashpass.

    All my websites have a link to a sitemap in the footer for a better user experience. This plugin makes it very easy to create the content for that sitemap page.

    Hey, I can see you only have one review and I thought I’d actually go to the effort of creating a WordPress account just so I can thank you Jean-Baptiste! It is a nice, light and easy to set up plugin. Thank you!

    Very good, super, bravo … The site map does not update automatically – of course – but you get the advantage of being able to organize your site map as you wish. A bonus for a better user experience : an html site map that doesn’t suck. Quelle bonne idée – What a good idea Merci 🙂 This topic was modified 6 years, 9 months ago by Gilbert Cattoire.
