Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
Occasionally updatedHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

thank you, this is amazing. i had problem with google tag manager and analytics. i used this + site kit plugin and my performance went from 70 to 99. if you wanna setup tag manager/analytics manually, you should add type=”text/partytown” to the script tag. like: <script type="text/partytown"> tag manager code </script> and it works like a charm!

Problems with Google Analytics and Google Tag ManagerTested: 1 week. While Enabled: No hits, no recorded live users/users in Google Analytics. Google Tag Manager also didnt get to connect to the site. – Clarity did record users live, and page hits. This is because Clarity is not included in the built-in integrationWhile disabled: Google Analytics got hits right away – same with Google Tag Manager.
