How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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.

    What a super useful plugin. After a client got a bit overzealous with installing way too many unnecessary languages using Polylang the /wp-content/languages/ directory was full of 100s of files. This was a great way to clean them up. Thank you for such a useful tool

    Simple, easy, perfect. I’ve tried with some test webs and it worked fine. It does what is expected.
