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 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.1.24, 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

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

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.

    When I first installed CommmonWP, it made a mess of my style sheet. I had to disable the AutOptimize setting, “Aggregate CSS-files”, to make the plugins work together. Unfortunately, that doubled the number of HTTP requests, which added 1 whole second to the page load time.

    Brilliant. I had Use Google Libraries for years not knowing it’s not working anymore, lol! Thanks for this mate! UPDATE: I had to uninstall because it was moving my jquery loading script to the head. I need that to load in the footer to prevent delays for the visitors. Please let me know if you can sort that out. This topic was modified 7 years ago by Reg Scheepers.
