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 9+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.8.30, 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 year
from wp.org release tags

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.

    Cdnjs resources load before jquery so some library doesn’t work because jquery not defined yet. I see there is alphabetical order but we need custom order to handle this problem.

    Labeled as CDN, includes thousands of JS libraries. What an ordinary user knows about them? No configuration options, no nothing. No description. What the use? Developers like these confuse the already confused WordPress users.

    As the plugin author, it’s necessary to clear up confusion on the previous review. This plugin is absolutely necessary whether you’re using W3 Total Cache and/or CloudFlare. This plugin helps by offloading the download of resources from your individual server, to a central, high-speed repository. Very useful in squeezing out the best performance you can for your site, and not really related to W3 Total Cache. Enjoy! Paul.
