High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.31, well behind 6.8.

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.

It certainly blocks spam, but it blocked my own comments (while logged in as admin) as well. The url for my account didn’t contain the keyword that was given as the basis for rejection. So, unusable for me, unless I check every comment – but that’s no better than moderating every comment anyway, and has the disadvantage of comments being deleted after 7 days. The email also doesn’t tell which blog post (neither title or url) the comment was made on. But much potential, so I’m giving 2 stars rather than 1.

I have a developing website with a blog. My semi-active blog was being spammed regularly. I installed “Antispam for all fields” and have not had another get through. In two months, Antispam for all fields, has blocked 59 and spammed 8 comments. GREAT PLUGIN In my opinion… A MUST HAVE! Kudos to the author, Ramon Fincken. Foglifter produitsusa.fr/blog
