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
No release in a yearHow 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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

My God, I really wanted this to work because I needed to track what the users where doing but out of five cites I’ve installed it on, it has crashed three. That is over 50% failure so its time to search for an alternative.

The plugin could not be enabled because it caused a critical error.

The plugin gives us as a company good insight on what is causing errors on our website by tracking plugin updates. With one of our plugin we actually got a fatal error with WP admin but the team was very responsive and came with a quick update to solve it.

One of the better activity logger out there I must say. Love the list of sensors which I hope will keep growing, and I especially love the event details screen. Keep up the good work!

I just tested this plugin, and it is fantastic. The Search list in the logs works like a charm, besides events, I can search for logs for individual users as well, and also the way we can filter the log is great too ! The only thing that worries me for now, is that in the settings page, when I’m setting the “Keep events for:” is not “registering”. After saving the my changes, every other change made on the Settings page, is being shown correctly, but the “keep events for:” field, becomes empty from the number of days I had set it to. The plugin however correctly logs the change, and right now I have it for 1 day. In a day or two perhaps, it will be clear if that part of the settings page actually works. It would be nice if we could manually delete the logs, and also have the ability to export them… Update: Looking at the database values, it seems that the correct value to keep the events for is set (1 day in my test case), so it’s a matter of displaying the value in the settings page, and not actually setting it. I am also guessing that to manually delete all the data, is to set the setting to delete all the data when the plugin is uninstalled, and then uninstall and reinstall it again, or manually delete the records from the database, which for many users would be a dangerous task… BTW: Tested on Xampp Localserver, Windows 10, PHP 7.4.x, Chrome Browser, WP 5.9, with many plugins active among them Gutenberg 12.5.0 RC1. Thanks, Nick.
