Simplest 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 · 100% 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.

   This plugin is small, fast and beautiful. It helps to understand the key metrics of traffic. Where do visitors come from? Which pages are most popular and how much traffic do I have? Additionally, it’s possible to track campaigns, which is also nice. So yes, I really like this plugin!

   Google Analytics can be an issue for many websites due to DSGVO and its requirements. So for long time, I was looking for an alternative analytics plugin which is reliable, lightweight and easy to use. Finally, I found Simplest Analytics and it works so well. It’s just perfect! Thank you very much for coding this amazing plugin!!!

   I have tested dozens of statistics programs. None of them can find me when I go to the website with VPN and some other protections. This program had no problem with that.
