Also, I maintain a few WordPress sites and have developed a \u200b <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wptables\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WordPress Tables plugin<\/a>. After publishing it in the WP repository the concept of \u200b <strong>WP DevMetrics<\/strong> \u200b was born.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h4>What is WP DevMetrics?<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wpdevmetrics.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WP DevMetrics\u200b<\/a> is a management dashboard created to keep track of your own WordPress plugins. One thing that surprised me quite a bit was that after publishing my very own plugin on WP.org, there was no such facility to manage it, or even some kind of private, back-end space for it. The only tool available is the Advanced View on the main plugin page.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WP DevMetrics\u200b<\/strong> was created to solve one simple problem &#8211; to organize and display all the relevant information about your plugins: downloads, search performance, reviews, donations, etc in one simple dashboard. Also, having the ability to compare all these metrics with your competitors is a great way to improve your product(s) and a powerful part of WP DevMetrics.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shortpixel.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/screenshot-1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3305 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/shortpixel.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/screenshot-1-1024x689.png\" alt=\"WP DevMetrics\" width=\"604\" height=\"406\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shortpixel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/screenshot-1-1024x689.png 1024w, https:\/\/shortpixel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/screenshot-1-300x202.png 300w, https:\/\/shortpixel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/screenshot-1-768x517.png 768w, https:\/\/shortpixel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/screenshot-1.png 1100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>My Favorite Feature<\/h4>\n<p>I&#8217;d have to say that my favorite feature is the Daily Reports.
