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.

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    This plugin added 2.5 seconds to my website’s load time. On every page load! On a Fiber internet connection.

    This plugin is just terrific! It does seem to be the only plugin available to manage content that can automatically appear or hide on any page and at a specific scheduled date / time.Thank you VERY much for keeping this plugin alive! It’s not necessarily something for every site but for those sites where such functionality is desired, this plugin is, from what I can tell, the only one in existence AND it works perfectly!

    Just what I needed. For a streaming radio website I wanted to show different images accompanying the different programs. These images are in widgets and this plugin works absolutely fine! So easy to define the times and paste the shortcode. THNX

    This is a great plugin which works flawlessly with my WP 5.6, so I’m a bit surprised the plugin installer warns me it hasn’t been tested with it? Come on guys, you seem to be missing a trick here, that nearly put me off…
