Uptime Robot Plugin for WordPress

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 · 94% 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 just integrated this into our WordPress site and it works fine. I used the Read-Only API key from Uptime Robot – although the instructions said to use the Main API key. I don’t like to open more permissions than are needed so was happy that it could use the Read-Only key. I would like to turn off the columns for % uptime over the last n timeframes, but don’t see an option to do this. Not a big deal I suppose. But that is why I took off a star, a little more flexibility in that arena would be better. I had no issues with it causing any kind of layout/formatting/CSS type issues on my implementation.

   Great work. Only thing I miss is a shortcode for only showing “Up/DOWN” Maybe it’s there, and I just didn’t find it. 😉 P.S. I just did the translation into Danish. Now waiting for it to be approved. 🙂

   The dashboard widget of this plugin interferes with the style and working of existing widgets, making the wp dashboard freeze – so: unusable, uninstalled it. CSS issue? Untested? I installed another Uptime Robot plugin and that just works fine.

   Works as advertised. We were able integrate it into our user interface to provide our members with great reporting data right on our site. Now they can check and see if their site is down or what their uptime is without having to open a ticket!

   Excellent fully working and buzzing about using. Now I am going to customise this bad boy and voila! Would recommend to all very much indeed. Easy to use and setup including getting an account. Absolute class and it’s free!

   Custom themes will need to edit the code. Here’s the status php file edited to work with custom themes. The issue was data would appear at the top of the page because echo is being used instead of return. https://gist.github.com/KeanePW/71048d8fbd09598891fc
