WP ULike – Like Buttons, Voting & Engagement Analytics

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. 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   I really appreciate this every day helper on my WP website … although I’m just running a pretty small photographer’s blog.

   This plugin is working really great for me. Even with the free version there are plenty of options. It does take some time to go through all the options to set things up exactly the way you want them. It’s not perfect, but I haven’t had any major issues with it at all. It also works equally well on the desktop as well as the mobile version. I like the summary report where I can see what posts received likes.

   WP ULike は、WordPress サイトのエンゲージメントを大幅に向上させる素晴らしいプラグインです。記事、コメント、投稿、さらにはカスタムコンテンツにも「いいね！」機能を簡単に追加でき、ユーザーの関心を引き付けるのに最適なツールだと思います。 ✅ シンプルかつ強力：インストール後すぐに使え、設定も直感的。初心者でも簡単に導入できます。✅ 豊富なカスタマイズ：デザインの変更、アイコンの選択、アニメーション効果など、細かい調整が可能。✅ 統計・分析機能：どのコンテンツが人気かを詳細に分析でき、サイトの改善に役立ちます。 無料版でも十分な機能を備えていますが、さらに高機能な Pro バージョンでは、より詳細な分析や高度なカスタマイズが可能見たいです。 無料版をもう少し使用して検討しようと思います。
