Removal-risk signals

53/100

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 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.8.15.

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.

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.

Reviewers call it light and simple, they say it drops tracking and analytics code into template spots without touching theme files, and a couple ask for multisite support and user role filtering.

    Very light plugin that will make editing theme parts unnecessary. * header.php * footer.php Safe! No possibility to break things, can be used by newbies. Suitable for anything. * counters, analytics code * site verification with <meta> tags * adding loading additional scripts and styles or using them inline. * much more.

    The code for analytics needed to be displayed on all pages including pages created in Elementor Page Builder. This plugin helped solve this issue.

    Great little plugin for adding tracking codes and other scripts to a website. I had one issue with it working which was caused by a caching issue and nothing to do with the plugin, but the author still responded to me very quickly after posting in the support forums.

    Отличный плагин. Давно искал такой. Будет идеальный, если добавить опцию учитывать или нет залогиненого пользователя, и выбор какие роли учитывать, а какие нет.
