WPGatsby

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 · 86% 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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   Seems clear this is the new way to build a lot of sites, thanks to this kind of connection! I’ve built a few sites now using this plugin and the proof is in the pudding… great work and a great team wanting to push things forward and help make it happen.

   The combination of WordPress with Gatsby is a game-changer for multiple reasons. This plugin is the perfect glue for that combination, along with WPGraphQL! I have been following the development of this plugin from early on. The folks at Gatsby – Jason, Tyler have worked super hard on this plugin – and the results speak for themselves! Jamstack with WP and Gatsby is my go-to stack for when someone needs a fast site. I couldn’t be happier to see this plugin on the repo, making blazing fast sites accessible for more folks getting into this stack! Thanks so much to Gatsby folks and the whole community for putting out amazing work and keeping the community strong and helpful! To infinity and beyond! 🚀

   This plugin enables you to write your own decoupled React frontend code very easily. Now you can write your own templates in React (Gatsby) and never look back.

   WPGatsby is a magical bit of software and an essential part of the WordPress/Gatsby integration. The value it adds to my local development environment with hot reloading content updates is a game changer.

   This plugin (along with Gatsby Cloud) got incremental builds working on our Gatsby/WordPress integration. It cut the build time down from ~2 minutes to ~10 seconds. Along with the new gatsby-source-wordpress-experimental Gatsby plugin, the plugin imports links and images from WordPress to your Gatsby site. Thanks for all of the hard work!

   This plugin helps to connect the dots between GatsbyJS and WordPress. Therefore, makes it possible to to use WordPress as a headless CMS while channeling all the goodies coming from the Gatsby environment. I believe it will influence the way we create websites a lot and will be part of one of the major web stacks in the near future. Great plugin and great developer community around it!
