Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.7.17.

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 yearHow 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
Est. acquisition value
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.

This plugin appeared to work for pre-existing posts, but failed to populate any tags for a new post. a disappointing waste of time.

Exactly what I was looking for. Had over 1000 posts without tags and this auto-generated for every post. If you are looking to bulk edit, you can use the bulk editor on the WordPress posts page. Just make sure to limit your posts to 6-8 or you will crash the db.

There is no competitive alternative! There is no even similar type of alternative! This is one the of the best plugin you must have it on your WordPress keychain. It saves millions of times for big blogs. It can read the post page pretty deeply and I don’t know how but it can understand like even Google AI. It finds not just the same words but similar ones too (Please correct me if I’m wrong). I suggest this to everyone who is running small or big blog.

Many thanks to the author! This is the only plugin of the kind that I have earned with Cyrillic. Simple settings, precise work and a lot of time saved!

I have this pugin installed for a few month now and I must say, it saved me a lot of time! I think this option should be in the core of WordPress. Thanks for creating this plugin.

the most efficient time saver I’ve ever seen

I’ve installed this on one of my blogs, as I couldn’t be pestered revising the tags every time I posted. Lazy, I know,but hey.. The only issue I have is that it’s TOO efficient – it tags a lot of words that I really DON’T want tagged. Now, I know I could just remove these words from the tags list, but an “exclude tags” list would be better for me..
