Search & Replace Everything – Quick and Easy Way to Find and Replace Text, Links

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. 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.

   Having used the now defunct Velvet Blues for many years I was pleased to find this fork. It works seamlessly, thanks very much!

   Like the title says, very painless. Also – do back up before you change stuff.

   Felt compelled to leave a review and say thank you! Installed it, ran it and fixed 200+ links within less than a minute – and without you asking me to sign up, buy premium or anything else. This is an almost forgotten value of the WordPress community: making things easy to help others. I’m really grateful, 10/10 plugin.
