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.

    Wordfence marked this plugin as abandoned. Is it abandoned?

    The plugin works great, I am using it on most of my websites. I would suggest one small thing: renaming the directory from “surbma-gdpr-proof-google-analytics” to “surbma-gdpr-proof” Some Ad blockers are blocking the script (“surbma-gdpr-proof-google-analytics/js/scripts-min.js”) from loading because of the google-analytics part in the name of directory. It’s a false positive and it makes the page look a bit broken. Also troubleshooting for regular users is not easy. Keep up the good work!

    No issues detected, could do with a few more options in the free version, but that’s just the nitpicking of a freeloader.
