WCBoost – Products Compare

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 · 61% 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.

At the current install trend, crossing 40K+ in roughly 126 days.

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.

   Hello This plugin is great, I have some suggestions to make the plugin even better. 1- It is possible to filter based on categories on the product comparison page to prevent comparisons between, for example, mobile phones and clothes, and the product of each category can be compared with the product of its own category.2- There should be a counter of the number of comparison products to be placed in the header.3 – The possibility of setting restrictions for not displaying the comparison button for some categories.4 – Create a shortcode for the add to Compare button on the archive and single store page. Other suggestions came to my mind, I will let you know. Update : I am giving one star due to poor support. Good luck This topic was modified 3 years ago by socialreza.
