High removal-risk signals

63/100

Maintenance 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.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

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.

    As much as I dearly want to know the audience insights and demographics of my traffic, I have, unfortunately, had to remove their tracking verification plugin and scripts. I tried both their plugin and their manually placed tracking script. Both had a negative affect on my pageload speed. The plugin is far worse affect than the manually placed script. The plugin somehow manages to affect both image optimization output and javascript minification across the board. The primary issues are their server’s expires headers settings for their javascript and pixel, and their javascript cannot be minified. Both scripts cause page load to hang something awful on mobile devices. While this is a great concept, it is a very poorly written plugin. LL

    Super simple way to integrate your Quantcast tag on to your WordPress site (I just moved over from something custom). Definitely take a look – I find the Quantcast audience data really interesting and useful as I try to get to know my viewers better.
