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.

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.

   This is my first plugin review and it fully deserves the 5 stars – why? It’s extremely simple to use, not bloated, does not spy on your data and it does exactly what it promises – you just add your UA code for Google Analytics and then in advanced configuration your Global site tag, on your “Thank you” page you manually add the “Event snippet” and there your go – you’re all set! Look no further – this is the plugin for Analytics and Conversions tracking your were looking for.

   Super easy to install and setup. A small suggestion would be to add the Settings hyperlink on the plugin in the WordPress plugins list, rather than trying to locate the new Plugin menu on the left sidebar in WordPress.
