Page Builder by SiteOrigin

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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   Despite using the block editor on any (new) website, I’m still using SiteOrigin’s on 3 customers pages (since 8+ years) … The developers have done a very good job in developing a clean, easily usable and esp. non-techy-user-friendly editor. Like others (i.e. Elementor), this editor is not bloated, just works (never had any problems) and has a very good feature set.

   Great plugin, especially with premium add-ons. But what makes it the best is their AMAZING other worldly support.

   This plugin works well and is fully supported, but the amount of updates is excessive – 9 so far this year. This can make it more difficult to ensure our websites are kept up to date.

   I’ve been using SiteOrigin for 5 years now. Not officially at the beginning with SiteOrigin as my theme had a forked version of it, but I easily moved over to the official one, this one within a year later or so later. Anyway, been using Page Builder by SiteOrigin, SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle, and of course SiteOrigin Premium with 0 issues, and just all work with Classic and TinyMCE.It’s my permanent building structure. So long as they permanently keep supporting Classic Editor / Classic Widgets

   The basic page builder is quite good for starters. Very well documented with support. I hope they adapt more features from other popular plugins.
