User Session Control

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 · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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.

   Works well and does what it says, without heavy lifting, fancy interfaces or such. Works with WP 5.7 and PHP 7.4. Currently unlisted because of lack of updates Please update it!

   This plugin is fine (as far as I can tell) on vanilla wordpress but is very unsafe on multisite and does not appera to be supported so no fix is imminent

   I can confirm that version 0.3.1 works perfectly with WordPress 5.3.2. This is an invaluable tool for administrators that need to keep user activity under control. I hope it will continue to work with future versions of WP. Top marks to the developer.

   Not hard at all to give this simple plugin 5 stars. Does exactly what it says and does not get in the way of other plugins. Wish it reported correct IP when site behind proxy (like Cloudflare), but minor issue. Get a little nervous when plugins throw campatibility / not updated warnings, but this one seems fine up to WP 5.2. Thanks for sharing with the community!
