Upload Larger Plugins

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 · 59% 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.

   I needed to install a plugin of 5.5mb. I found out that most wordpress sites allow plugins up to 2mb. You can either change this in php.ini or .htaccess file or just use this plugin. Easy to use and straightforward 5/5.

   I could not figure out why I was not able to install a larger zip plugin file (2.7Mb). Checked out the forum questions, saw this fix – downloaded it – installed it – and it works. Life should be so simple.
