High removal-risk signals
75/100Maintenance 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 4.9.31, well behind 6.8.
- Reviews souring. Recent reviews read meaningfully worse than older ones, an early sign of decline.

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.

Thank you a lot, very nice extension, simple and fast. No configuration, just a 100%

No answers to support queries and no updates in 2 years – it looks as if the plugin has been abandoned. Which is a shame, as most of the plugin works and works well. The over-sized icons in the block menu are annoying but liveable with. However, I’ve found alternatives now which are better maintained, so have moved on.

Thank you @youknowriad for this very useful plugin that also demonstrates how we can save even more time using the Gutenberg editor’s custom sidebar feature. Bravo !
