Removal-risk signals

- Long abandoned. No update in 4+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 6.1.12.

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 yearHow 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
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.

Hello, Since report-uri is no longer recommended anymore, I need to use report-to to send CSP reports. But for reason, it doesn’t send reports with report-to. My CSP settings are as follows: In Policy: report-to filed, I filled in csp-endpoint , in Frontend Policy Report-To Header field, I filled in the following JSON data { "group": "csp-endpoint", "max_age": 10886400, "endpoints": [ { "url": "{CSP REPORT ENDPOINT}" } ] } After saving changes in the CMS, all the commas disappeared in Frontend Policy Report-To Header field. { "group": "csp-endpoint" "max_age": 10886400 "endpoints": [ { "url": "{CSP REPORT ENDPOINT}" } ] } I am wondering if you can help to take a look at it, thanks! Note: I have no problem with report-uri. This topic was modified 3 years ago by ningmorris.

As soon as I leave the backend the view of my side is without any CSS. Only the plain HTML.

We are really happy with this plugin.im wondering if you provide a filter so i can merge some dynamic ‘nonce-xx’ to the policy header. this could be very very useful.

This plugin is well thought out and does what I need it to. It has also helped me troubleshoot other website’s CSP that wasn’t working correctly, and the documentation is solid if brief.
