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

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.

    Activating this plugin takes up about 300mb of memory, even on admin pages. Other than that it is great and simple to use.. 5 stars easily once this is fixed.

    Adding classes to the BODY tag is a tremendously powerful feature, that lets you target specific pages on your CSS. The plugin I’ve been using so far hasn’t been updated in ages, so I’ve decided to look for a newer alternative – and I’ve found it, big time! Initially I was intimidated by the overwhelming number of settings this plugin offers – took me 2 minutes to realize what a breeze it is to use it. This plugin takes body classes to the next level, adding classes I’ve never dreamed of – and giving me whole new levels to style my sites. Just hope the author won’t desert it like the previous one 🙂
