Well-Known File Manager

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 300+ in roughly 95 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.

   Even though plugin seems great, with great UX/UI, it doesn’t work. I’m trying to update assetlinks.json file, but nothing gets updated upon enabling it and saving changes. This topic was modified 9 months ago by icutva. This topic was modified 9 months ago by icutva.

   This is exactly what I was looking for: a straightforward way to create .well-known files and remove the numerous 404 errors in my log. I also think the implementation is great because, once you have added those files, the site is no slower than before. You can even disable the plugin and the files will still be there and work as expected. Thanks for the great plugin!
