Live Visitor Counter

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 · 87% 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.

   I wanted a simple, direct plugin that would show visitors how many visitors my site gets. This is the only one that doesn’t try to do too much or add visual clutter. The one feature that seems unique to it is that it allows you to choose the starting number- this was important to me because my Blogger site had 3.5 million visitors prior to the switch to WordPress, and I didn’t want to lose that social validity.

   I loved it. It is functional and nice to look at. It would be great if in the future maybe it could show statistics per week but as it is right now it’s great and deserves all the recognition Thank you ! Excellent work !

   Solid plugin prior to WordPress 5.5, but it has a conflict with the new WordPress Update. I’ll change my review if and when it is updated for WordPress 5.5 Compatibility. The other issue is that it must be counting bots because the visitor counts are extremely high. I’m using another plugin that seems to be providing accurate numbers. I mainly keep Live Visitor Counter active because the UI is pretty for viewers with a feature that shows “Live Visitors” that are currently live on the site.
