Table of Contents Plus – Automatic Table of Contents for Posts & Pages

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Weird: the excerpts are replaced by the TOC of the posts – and there’s nothing you can do about it. It appears this plugin is not tested out carefully.

   Thank you Mike, I have tried almost 10 plugins, and in my opinion, this is the best among them.If the following two options are added to the position section, it can be used everywhere:1- Before the first paragraph2- After the first paragraph

   It worked right out of the box! It didn’t slow down the page loading time at all. I’m using LiteSpeed Cache plugin and that might count, but still, this is exactly what I was looking for.

   I have experienced a really tough day trying to resolve the issue that the TOC failed to display. Fortunately, I managed to find a solution, which is really simple. I hope it can be helpful to those guys encountering the same issue. Solution: Go to the advanced settings and select the heading levels you want to show. All the heading levels are kept unselected after the update and you just need to select them again.
