Uji Countdown

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 · 19% run the current release. 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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Does not work on a multi-site. Searched support and found a topic, however, it had several responses indicating the same problem with multiple users with no solution and the thread now closed. Don’t bother with it, it’s a waste of time.

   Timer though a good idea and would have saved me time coding my own is very buggy with load issues. Using the Pro version for multiple sites/timers per page and using more than one timer per page causes load issues where the timers appear less than 40% of the time leaving blank spaces where they should be the remaining time. If a single timer per page fails all timers fail. Using one per page appears to have better loading success but still not even close to 100%. No responses after a week from their own website contact form or the support forum here.
