High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.6.1, well behind 6.8.

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.

Very easy to use slider.. Install, upload images, some options… and it works perfect. Great support also by the developer!

Very easy to configure, works perfectly and allows the tweet to be styled. Saves lots of hassle with the new Twitter 1.1 API! Well worth 5 stars. Now if only the plugin allowed multiple Twitter feeds to be set up…

I love this plugin. It is so clean, so easy to use and fully customisable. I found it after trying to search for a Twitter plugin that would keep updating and not randomly stop every other week. Thank you very much for creating this plugin, I recommend it to anyone looking for a clean and future-proof Twitter for site 🙂

I suppose Twitter had to eventually update their API, which inevitably means all other non-API plugins have died, this ones works well and is more like the Facebook app way of doing things.
