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.

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

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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    This is one of the MOST important plugints for developers. I ve tested in WordPress 6.5.3 and it works perfectly fine!!!! Please WordPress Team remove the notation that this plugin is not tested for 6.5.3 version! This is WRONG!!!

    This is one of the plugins that I use on a daily bases but the sad part is that the developer abandoned it. It has stopped working on many themes. I wish to contribute to the development of the plugin if someone wants to keep it alive.
