Super Browser Detector

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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% 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.

   This plugin is great as it provides the PHP command lines for identifying browsers and using if commands. It’s not a great plugin for cacheing when using plugins such as W3 Total Cache, especially with memcache, as it stores .browser-gecko and .os-linux on the server. It’s better used as inline-PHP standalone commands: $userAgent = $_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’]; if($is_safari) { echo ‘safari item’; } elseif($is_chrome) { echo ‘chrome item’; } It’s super helpful for providing these tags however, especially since these lines of code will transcend version updates for the foreseeable future, and it will work fantastic with a non-cacheing website.

   Does exactly what it says. Super helpful for writing browser-specific CSS.
