Tab Return Notifier

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.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

At the current install trend, crossing 50+ in roughly 137 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.

   This is a great plugin. It allows you to create multiple massages specific to the page types and taxonomies when the browser tab is inactive. If you are looking for a great tool for creating dynamic content in your inactive tab, this one just works. It is the the cleanest full-featured single-purpose plugin for inactive browser tabs I have found. The developer is very responsive and resolved and issue found within minutes.
