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.

So I didn’t have to 🙂 Awesome little handy tool to clean up old sites from obsolete CPTs and their post meta. I wish it also supported custom taxonomies that were registered for those obsolete CPTs.

Its a really simple to use plugin and working right out of the box. A nice feature would be (if that is possible at all) to clean up abandoned taxonomies, too. Thx for this nice plugin!

What a useful, little plugin! It helps clean up the database and keep it clean from old and obsolete CPTs. Bravo to the developer who also swiftly updated it to the latest version shortly after my support request. What else can you ask for?

This is an extremely useful plugin. It removes thousands of uselessly accumulated posts that bloat the database of plugins that are no longer used.

This is my very first review. If I could give it 10 stars, I would. I love a clean WordPress installation. However, after using WordPress for some time, you get extra post types, most of which you can’t even see unless you have a plugin or you know what you are doing. With this plugin I have been able to delete the extra post types that I’m not using, reducing the size of my WordPress installation.
