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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

Just one recommendation: add info regarding JetEngine redirect fix to the FAQ section of the plugin, to resolve any confusion like I had with homepage redirect.

This plugin is so easy to use, no isses with custom post types in Crocoblock Jetengine, or Metabox.io. It worked as advertise, thank you for this.

Does exactly what it should! Only thing i would like is that the Query_var bug with jetengine fix would be included in the plugin. Otherwise the php snippet posted here is great!
