Wp-Thumbie – Related Posts with thumbnails for WordPress

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.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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.

   It is very slow, i used it for my website. I tested using pingdom tool here are the results of with or without Wp Thumbie plugin installed With WP THUMBIE Page load time: 5.79seconds Wait time(server response time): 3.49 seconds Without WP THUMBIE Page Load time: 3.00 Seconds Wait time: 686 milli seconds its clearly very fast while not using WP Thumbie. To confirm i used P3 profiler, WP Thumbie was taking 51% of the time, there is a 50% increase in speed after deactivating the plugin. Moreover, i was not really using the plugin, it was just installed and active.

   Works, but really kills performance with 3x the mySQL DB queries per page load. Our site went from .5 second load time to over 15 second load time with this one plugin. Shut it back off and speeds returned. There are many other better options that are more up to date than this one.
