WP Realtime Sitemap

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

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.

Crossed into this band 2 months ago and the previous band took 4.4 years to cross, so the real count is still just under 10K.

   Çok seçenekli ve kullanışlı, ancak biraz daha css eklense iyi olur, ayrıca Portfolio type seçeneğini çeviri yapmak için seçenek yok. https://beylikduzutesisatci.org/site-haritasi/

   Worked fine for year but stopped working after we upgraded our server environment to PHP7. Doesn’t work at all. Will be switching Plugins since PHP7 is a lot more valuable to us than a User sitemap. This topic was modified 9 years, 4 months ago by larrymadill.

   I’ve used this superb plugin on numerous sites and it just works great! It’s usually the first one I enable, since it makes a great development and client pre-launch checklist, as well as helping visitors by complementing other nav and search. Kudos!!!
