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 12+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.9.40, 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.

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.

Both reviewers say it just works with no setup, and one switched to it after a rival Disqus loader threw a fatal error.

    Works fine. I checked the code and added a few lines my theme’s functions file to avoid requests on our main page too. Thank you!

    Awesome job. I tried Disqus Conditional Load by Joel James and it threw a fatal error. I then installed your plugin & it worked perfectly with no configuration required. Thanks for your contribution. 🙂
