External Product New Tab for WooCommerce

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.

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 plugin does what it says on the tin and haven’t noticed any issues with rest of site since activating. I would prefer a regular testing on latest versions of WordPress though as I find the Warning not tested a tad off putting. I like things to be neat and clean!

   Great idea but in practice this doesn’t work as it simply loops out to the product page and then again and then again….Sorry but perhaps the fact that it hasn’t been updated in 7 months should have told me something.

   Merhaba aradığım eklenti tam olarak bu fakat çalışmadı. Hatta eklentiyi kurduktan sonra karşılaştırma sayfam bozuldu. Yardımcı olabilir misiniz?
