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 4.6.30, well behind 6.8.

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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    I was very hesitant to download this because I’m more of a Joomla person than a WordPress person, so I try not to install plugins unless they’re used by thousands of other sites–I just don’t want any surprises that I can’t fix. After frustratingly trying several other “popular” plugins that couldn’t even get working properly, I tried the free version of this and was amazed. After 5 minutes, I knew I had to purchase the Pro version to get the control I needed for adding a different font here and there on my website. I’m very excited that it works so well, I highly recommend this plugin and its very much worth every penny I paid for it. Awesome job guys, its clean and easy to use–simply add the Google font name to the tag you want to use (example H6) and you’re good to go–it works wonderfully!!!
