Site Favicon

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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 63% 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.

   The icon generator isn’t working, so nothing works.

   Does what it is expected to do. Would have given an easy 5 start. But, the plugin shows that it is not updated to work with my current version of WordPress. I hope nothing breaks on my site because of this.

   The Site Favicon plugin has been a game-changer for us. The setup process was incredibly straightforward, allowing us to integrate it into our WordPress site with ease. The user-friendly interface and clear instructions made the setup process a breeze, even for those of us who aren’t particularly tech-savvy. Adding the favicon plugin to our website was just as simple. The plugin gave us greater control over the basic features of our WordPress site, allowing us to customize our favicon to match our brand identity. Not only did this enhance the aesthetic appeal of our site, but it also made our website more recognizable to our visitors. Overall, the Site Favicon plugin is a fantastic tool that combines simplicity and functionality, and we highly recommend it. This topic was modified 2 years, 7 months ago by logomethis.

   Wow…! This plugin had a very nice unexpected bonus for me: it re-enabled the “Customizer” option under the “Appearance” menu! It’s been hopelessly missing this entire time and nothing I tried got it to come back, but with this plugin it’s suddenly returned. A must-have!
