High removal-risk signals

71/100

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 13+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.5.3, well behind 6.8.
  • Negative reviews. Recent reviews are running negative.

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

N/A

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.

Negative Broken updatesCompatibility

The handful of reviews here are unhappy, with two reporting the plugin flat out doesn't work or throws a fatal error, and an older one saying it breaks the dashboard widget layout.

    It mess up my Dashboard so I can’t move any of the plugins/widgets any more. I’m using a two-column dashboard layout, it always insists on putting itself on the bottom of the left column and now I can’t move the other things or it to places I’d prefer them to be. Recommend a fix on that.
