Simple Analytics

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.

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.

   I switched from Fathom to Simple Analytics and I don’t want to go back! It has a really nice dashboard with deep insights and is easy to integrate. I also like their event funnel feature

   I first started using Simple Analytics in ~2020, and couldn’t look back after that. I love the ability to set a custom domain which allows us to bypass browser extensions that block analytics to get even more data and insights. Also, appreciating how convenient and straightforward the WordPress integration is.

   Removed the need to have 2 theme versions (one for the users and one for demos) or to build my own plugin. Thanks! 🙂
