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 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.
What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

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.

I wanted to disable both comments and trackbacks for all posts on my site, which I can’t do within native WordPress. This plugin did it. Thank you!

I had over 20,000 spam comments on my site and couldn’t find a way to get rid of them, until this plugin. Within a few minutes they were all gone. Thank you 🙂

After my Akismet credit card expired, I was left with thousands of SPAM comments in my pending folder. Tried another plugin that did not work, then tried this and it worked perfectly. It deleted all of my pending comments without a hitch.

After I installed Disqus comment system it removed the comments from all of my posts, and would only display the comment section on the occasional new post. I was going to have to enable comments manually on over 2000 posts. Then I found this plugin. It turned hours of work into about 5 seconds work. Don’t delay. Install this plugin
