WP Dev Flag

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.

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.

   I downloaded the plugin but did not install it when I saw the number of files. It might be great, I won’t say anything on it, I just wanted to share a few lines of code that did the job for me instead: if (defined('WP_DEBUG') and true === WP_DEBUG) { // add a green dot at the bottom left of the screen // when WP_DEBUG in wp-config is true function devTag () { echo '<div style="background:green;border-radius:10px;bottom:20px;height:10px;left:20px;position:fixed;width:10px;z-index: 9999;"></div>'; } add_action('wp_body_open', 'devTag'); }

   Installed this on my website when I was developing it, and it’s been a very handy yet simple tool for me. It’s now part of my toolkit for when I am developing WordPress websites.
