WP Maintenance

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 · 94% 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.

At the current install trend, crossing 60K+ in roughly 942 days.

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.

   Very simple to set up and very versatile. The “under maintenance” page presented quickly and professionally.

   Does everything it promises. Small & customisable. Minus 1 star for omitting Bluesky option when there’s 16 other social networks listed.

   After many days of customization, broke my site on uninstalling the plugin. Install this plugin at your own risk :-{

   I like it. Small and useful. Does what it is supposed to do. Merci! Small problems: Link to Honeypotexplanation file not working Translation problems “Choice”. Should be “Chose” Logic problem in options: Display in Admin bar? Yes, remove display in admin bar. Should just be “Display in Admin bar? Yes. Unclear what it means if site displays roles with a maintenance screen.

   Encore quelques améliorations et il sera “Topissime”. Par exemple pouvoir placer un logo en plus de l’image, pouvoir placer l’image, le logo etc où l’on veut dans la page sans avoir à toucher au CSS (pour ceux qui ne savent pas l’utiliser). Mais bravo au développeur.
