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.

At the current install trend, crossing 50+ in roughly 134 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 small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   We’ve been using WeatherBot on our site, bombswag.com, and it does exactly what we wanted. The widget makes it simple to display the weather for each city where we sell gifts and souvenirs, and it works flawlessly. It’s very easy to set up and powerful enough to just interpret whatever city name we put in. So far, it delivers accurate, real-time weather – we check it against google all the time. Perfect plugin — highly recommended!
