Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value

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

Est. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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.

    Let’s start with the positives. The plugin works. The negatives are: The behavior of “add to cart” buttons is forced by the plugin and can no longer be chenged from the Woos settings When the plugin is active there is virtually no way to force “add to cart” buttons to redirect people to cart after clicking them. The plugi forces its own settings at the top of the WordPress theme customizer, making the whole menu a visual mess (strong, red colored texts with red borders)
