How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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.

    TrustedSite is the only service on the market that offers such good value for money. It’s now an essential factor in building trust, with a whole host of features to choose from – even if not all of them apply to your site. I must admit I wouldn’t want to be without it. Just a quick note: it would be useful to be able to remove any sites that no longer need monitoring yourself.

    Great plugin and service. Our members say the TrustedSite seal is how they know they can trust our site with their sensitive payment information. Easy set up and a solid tool for any site that processes payments.

    The cap of 500 pageviews per month is ridiculous. We reached this ceiling very quickly, even for a small blog. Accounts are closed as soon as they are no longer used.

    Upon clicking the ‘Add Site’ button, users are met with an unwelcome surprise: the page seems to enter an endless loop of loading, never completing the intended action. This frustrating issue leaves them with no choice but to completely remove the plugin from their system in order to restore normal functionality.
