Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

I downloaded this plugin with much skepticism as I’ve tried to edit the .htaccess directly and failed. However, this plugin worked like a charm!

I know enough to edit .htaccess files but couldn’t manage to extend the execution time without creating an Error 500. One click and this did the job…and taught me how to do it manually in future ;o)

Backup buddy was timing out again and again. This literally changed the .htaccess file and I was able to get a good backup!
