VenoBox – Lightweight & Responsive Lightbox Plugin

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

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 · 85% 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Fantastic plugin. Just what I need. It can open a video in a lightbox by clicking on the text, button or image that the video is linked to. The size of the opened video is perfectly adjusted. Almost full screen, so it can be seen perfectly. The same goes for opening images. It is also very important that the plugin does not slow down the site at all.
