WP Force SSL & HTTPS SSL Redirect

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. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   Free version only redirects http to https. That’s all. All other configuration options are PRO. This topic was modified 10 months, 3 weeks ago by Aidatün.

   I feel like fixing mixed content should not be a “Pro” option. That’s essential. Just another bait and switch plugin.

   My host provides SSL for my domain. So it is nice to find a plugin that does not try to force me to change the source of my SSL services. Plus this works out of the box. Nothing breaks. Visited my site with my PC, Android devices, and iPhone w/o using https. Every attempt successfully redirected me to https. No longer getting errors on browsers saying my site does not use SSL, when in fact it does. The user simply did not know to enter https. Now this makes the process seamless. For them and me. Thx !
