Virtue/Ascend/Pinnacle Toolkit

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank

wp.org popularity rank over time · lower is better

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 · 91% 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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   Plugin opens enough options on the free version of the theme to design a beautiful website. Also it’s very easy to use and works perfectly well.

   I liked this plugin and how easy it was to customize the website using it; however, it slows down my entire website and causes it to crash from time to time. For now I will leave it deactivated, but I will consider activating it again if this problem is fixed.

   The options for free version of the theme that made it attractive can be found now on the paid version only. I solved the problem, unfortunately I did not find it till now.
