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.

Hi All, Simple powerful plugin! The productivity improvement this plugin provides is enormous! Seems like a small improvement but if you where to add the time saved I think you’d be very surprised. While developing I publish often and having the page reload at the same spot I was working saves so much time. 😉 Before this plugin, each time publishing the page would reload at its default and lose the spot where I was working. I’d have to dive back down into the page scrolling down to the fields I was working on. Very annoying! Time consuming! Honestly, this should be base WP functionality. Thanks again for the plugin 😉
