X3P0: Breadcrumbs

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 · 86% 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.

At the current install trend, crossing 300+ in roughly 182 days.

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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   Really nice README that shows how to use hooks and filters to make the plugin do what you want. A site i’m working on did not need taxonomies so I simply added a filter that removed it from the breadcrumbs really nice!Would maybe be helpful for non codes to add options to hade parts of the permalink structure if for example like my website, the default category taxonomy is not used.

   Simple, well-coded, and incredibly performant, X3P0: Breadcrumbs rapidly became one of my favorite plugins due to its lightweight approach and design freedom. Definitely should be part of the WordPress core.

   I really love this plugin – it’s simple, clean, and easy to use. It deserves to be part of the default WordPress installation.
