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 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.5.2, 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.

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.

    I uploaded my image, and it put it right in there. I was very happy with how quick and easy this plugin is. It even supports transparent images. My favicon is round in shape, and using the plugin, I just added my transparent GIF file exported from Photoshop, and it converted it beauifully. 5 stars!

    I spent an entire weekend trying to add a favicon to my blog and still failed! This plugin did it for me in seconds!! Totally 100% automated too! Its definitely a great plugin for us “not-so-tech-savvy” bloggers lol. Even if you are tech savvy, it saves a lot of time especially if you switch themes often. Definitely going to “favorite” this developer, I can’t wait to see his future plugins!
