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.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow 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
Est. acquisition value
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.

We wanted a way to secure a support site for users of a paid site. The paid site is on a different platform (not WP). We weren’t looking for iron clad security, just want to keep prying eyes out. At first we thought we’d have to do some sort of database mind meld. Then I stumbled across this plugin. Now we set all support links to include a specific string at the end, and blamo, they get into the support site. If you go to the site without the string, you get a custimizable page. This was the solution for which we were looking.

I wanted to have links on Site A (authorised members only site) to send people to Site B and allow them access to it. Without unauthorised people being able to go direct to Site B and having access. OK so a member of Site A could get the most current token and give it to friends but, I’m sure I could run a con job to update the URL token on the private page on Site A and also in the Mysql database on Site B or something. Good plugin. Took me a while to find a solution so some keywords to help others find this: Allow cross domain access to website secure token authorisation
