SmartFrame Images

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.

At the current install trend, crossing 200+ in roughly 152 days.

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.

   The best possible solution for content creators to use top-quality images both legally and free of charge, while photographers automatically receive proper attribution and compensation through advertising—without publishers having to pay a single cent. The image delivery via the embed loads lightning-fast on the page, and a well-implemented system for displaying images in social media and Google metadata is also in place. Pure gold!
