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 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.

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.

    It works. If you have SEO plugin other than listed here, you need to disable or add your own code (to enable og:url = "http://...") This topic was modified 6 years, 2 months ago by Jan Dembowski. Reason: Formatting

    Entering ‘how to recover facebook likes after https’ in Google your article only the 7th hit. The first 6 result were not helpful for me; either it contains incomprehensible instruction or paid plugins. I was getting desperate, but I found your article and with your plugin I successfully managed to solve this issue! Thank you very much! Really great job!
