Removal-risk signals

53/100

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 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.8.15.

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

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.

    I have a theme used for several sites – this theme would allow Autoptimze cache to max out – this wonderful plugin solves that issue.

    I saw a YouTube video that recommended the Cache Enabler plugin to automatically purge the Autoptimize cache. So I installed it, but it did absolutely nothing. Then I tried this plugin and it works great! Five stars!

    I LOVE this simple plugin for making sure my Autoptimize caches are under control. I make sure it’s installed on all my client sites. Safe. Stable. Works every time.
