  • Long abandoned. No update in 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.4.21.

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.

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. 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.

    I used the Display HTML Sitemap for a page at https://power2u.org/sitemap, and it’s just what I needed. This was the only plugin I could find that will display other stuff than just pages and posts. In this case, I wanted to show products in the store. When I first set it up, I ran into issue. It turns out there was a bug, but the author responded quickly. I gave him access to the backend of my website, and he had it fixed quickly. And within a few days, he came out with an update. I wish most plugin authors were as attentive.
