WP Killswitch

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.

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 small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   OMG!!! put my heart out, squeezing the world in a plugin!! landed from an article (big article) to here, and read exactly what i wanted and guess what GOT what i wanted. So firstly, Mr. Noble has analysed greatly as a users’ perspective and then coded brilliantly to achieve the same!! This is NOBLE gift to all serious developers especially from INDIA, as INDIANS clients only enjoy free technology and do not pay anything out of their pockets. So sites like FACEBOOK, WHATSAPP are playing good and the developers trying to provide their services are not treated even with a smile. So, to smash-back and make the market balanced, this is a NOBLE IDEA to the world unlike the DYNAMITE by ALFRED NOBEL, that was a total destruction, but this, is a weapon of SELF-DEFENCE and SELF-RESPECT. And i also urge to donate to this CODE OF DREAM(plugin) so this thing establishes that good ideas will retain and not the DYNAMITES!! hoping and caring for a good cause, till then you are a NOBLE GENIUS!!

   A feature to enable this remotely would be great – sometimes the client user is on an administrator permission level and can delete user accounts. Might also be worth planting an insurance file in a different directory. Works great! Thanks for your work.
