A few years back at the start of the 2017 crypto bull run I developed a simple plugin called CryptoWP which enabled any WordPress site owner to display the current price of any cryptocurrency on their websites.

Funny enough, I was alerted to the start of the bull run while designing the admin dashboard and testing the API data, as shown below (screenshot not from that time period):

Well, this little passion project has been sitting on the WordPress.org Plugins directory for free for the past years and it was just brought to my attention that within the past two days it has been downloaded over 200 times and is currently active on over 1,000 websites! (note: downloads !== active sites)

Compared to CryptoWP's charts, BTC has nothing on this plugin's moon potential. 😎

I certainly see some updates coming to this plugin and the near future, and even some monetization possibilities now that the plugin audience is getting quite established.

My interest in crypto has gone down over the years, but the plugin still gets plenty of downloads.

...and in the last 2 days the daily downloads count has been at 100 which is about 5x its usual rate.

I wish I could see the reason for the downloads spike, like if a popular blog linked to it somewhere, but the WP.org stats are very limited.

Anybody have an idea how I can look this kind of thing up?
