Ultimate Dashboard – Custom WordPress Dashboard

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 · 86% 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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   The support for the pro version is very slow (I’m yet to get a response!). So, my rating will be lower just for that fact… The plugin looks good but needs improvement. Support for more page builders (namely Cornerstone by Theme Co and even Gutenberg) for building out the dashboard. I’m surprised the plugins dev did not decide to start with Gutenberg support, to be honest. This topic was modified 5 months, 1 week ago by Daniel Finch. Reason: Editing rating for slow support

   I’ve just installed it, but I think it’s a good plugin… although, as you know, there is no limit to perfection…)
