Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

How we estimate this

Assumptions

  • Free → paid conversion. 0.5%–2% of active installs pay for the pro tier. Typical for freemium WordPress plugins; the real rate varies a lot by product.
  • Annual price per customer. $99–$199 a year, typical for Analytics plugins rather than this plugin's own pricing.
  • Acquisition multiple. 2x–4x annual revenue, the going range for small WordPress-plugin businesses, the typical range for a steady plugin.
  • Install base. 60–70 active installs, from our install estimate (wp.org only publishes the floor).

Revenue is installs × conversion × price; value is revenue × a typical acquisition multiple. Every factor is an assumption band, so the output is a wide range on purpose. If you're buying or selling, treat this as a starting point for due diligence.

Reviewer account pattern

from wp.org reviewer profiles

12 of the last 12 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review, and 12 of those landed between 2026-01-12 and 2026-01-24.

Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

    Let me share my personal opinion: I found the design to be effective, attractive, and clear. It operates smoothly, almost automatically, with speed and transparency, and also provides an excellent level of privacy and credibility. It’s efficient, practical, and beneficial for all of us. It has several features we all desire, and it’s extremely easy to use.

    I really like the way this plugin visualizes real-time traffic. Seeing active users as dots on a rotating globe is much more intuitive than just reading statistics. It set up quickly and the animation looks very professional on the dashboard.

    The plugin manages to turn boring telemetry into a visual heartbeat. While most trackers feel invasive, this feels like an art installation that proves your site is alive

    What I like about this plugin is that it communicates activity instantly, without forcing visitors to interpret metrics. The live globe works almost subconsciously: a few moving points tell you the site isn’t empty. For content sites or landing pages, this visual cue feels more human than numbers and doesn’t distract from the main message.

    This wine red A-line midi dress is a practical choice for business travel because the fabric is wrinkle-resistant. The natural silk material provides a subtle sheen, and the notched neckline creates a professional look suitable for meetings

    Beautifully designed and surprisingly engaging. The globe visualization makes visitor activity feel alive without overwhelming the page. Smooth performance, easy setup, and strong privacy focus are big advantages. It’s a simple idea executed thoughtfully, adding a calm, modern touch that works perfectly for landing pages and small websites.

    I really like this thing. It’s fascinating to watch how the dots appears here and there on the globe, very relaxing 😌

    I like this plugin because it does one thing clearly and does not try to replace full analytics. On a landing page, the globe gives visitors a quick sense that the site is active and international without reading numbers or charts. For example, seeing a few red dots appear from different countries during the day is more engaging than a static counter. I also appreciate that everything is local; on a small store site I tested, it worked fine with caching and did not add noticeable load time. It feels more like a visual signal of presence than a tracking tool, and that makes sense for many sites.
