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 7+ 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.

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.

    A simple solution which can be used as a powerful alerting mechanism for preserving security and maintaining version control. A couple of recommendations for future updates: include the name of the account and time of access in the email as multiple users may have admin privileges and email delivery times can be inconsistent. I believe quite a few site owners would also be interested in SMS notifications as well if you’re planning to do a pro version.

    I have found the plug-in because I was looking for simple solution to be notified each time when someone log-in as admin to my WordPress website. Currently there is more than one admin user and I can effectively monitor the activity of the others and to get notified if there is an unauthorized access to the back-end of my website. I’m looking forward for some other features added soon.
