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.

What its installed base runs

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.

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

N/A

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 plugin works great! Thank you for quick response in the forum. Tips: If you want to use this plugin with pages, you should set tags in pages properly. (You have to use Toolset Types plugin or similar plugins together.)

    This plugin was good and after having a small plugin and reporting it here, plugin author fixed the issue in just a day or two. Thanks Sosere for producing such a great plugin. 5 stars.

    I made a test where a related post plugin was already installed – Contextual Related Posts. I installed Sosere and waited some weeks. Then I took a look at the results for one post with only one tag “spam” – category does not count on my site as I don’t use them really. Sosere was unable to find any relatad post with the “spam” tag. Contextual Related Posts gives all results with the “spam” word inside. I made a screecapture to prove it. So how is it supposed to work ? Do I have to wait 3 monthes ? The concept looks good but it’s an epic fail for me. Update: the plugin works as is intented. As it analyses the visitor behaviour… well, the “related” posts depend on the way the visitors crawl your site. Useless for my need.
