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 · 76% 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.

At the current install trend, crossing 300+ in roughly 102 days.

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.

   This plugin provides a very comfortable interface for fixing media attachment issues and getting rid of redundant media files. After using it a bit, I made some suggestions to the author and the response was just superb. I hope this plugin will soon be featured by WordPress, because it’s very useful.

   I came across this plugin almost by accident, but I’m so glad I did. The unattached media thing had bugged me for years. This one simple plugin fixed all that in minutes! It scans your media library and presents a range of super-useful data and options for how to attach media and delete unused files. The UI is really nice, it’s easy to use, highly recommended.
