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 4.9.31, 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.

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.

I’ve been using this Plug-in for a few years now and I love it. I like for my visitors to know what the weather is doing here. I updated my WP sites to 5.7.2 the other day, and this afternoon I got a notice from someone on an email notification list that the Skype link in the email for our Tuesday meeting wasn’t working. I checked and discovered that he did not have today’s email—the Skype link remains the same so that didn’t matter—and I hadn’t received it either. I went to the website and got a notice the sight had a critical error. I checked my email and had received a message with a link to WP Recovery Mode and it pointed to this Plug-in as being the problem. After deactivating it, the email went out automatically, and the site came back online. Again, I love this app. Please update it to work with 5.7.2 and beyond. Thanks, Mathis…

This plugin works great! Simple and uses a great API for the data. I like how easy it is to customize the template. Also, from a PHP standpoint, the code is well written, documented and organized. I especially like the fact that they’re autoloading things and using object oriented design. This makes it much faster for me to walk through the code and see what’s going on.

If you need something that’s straightforward to use, displays the weather in a pleasant way, and would enjoy super responsive support – look no farther!
