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.

Release cadence

No release in a year

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.

Mixed Praise

Reviews here are split, one flags plaintext credentials in the URL as a serious security problem, while the newest one says a recent update fixed the security side, and an older reviewer just calls it simple to use.

    DO NOT USE THIS PLUGIN! Security on it is non-existent! Passwords and usernames are passed as PLANE TEXT in the URL. This is EXTREMELY dangerous for your websites and potentially for your computers, emails, cloud services and online banking! DO NOT USE THIS PLUGIN!!
