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

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
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.

Very easy to use and works great, that is… if not using any fancy caching methods. Edit: Updated to 5 stars. The newest version is working in Litespeed server and LScache enabled. Thanks Ronak and team! This topic was modified 2 years, 4 months ago by justgert.
