Removal-risk signals

53/100

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 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.8.15.

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

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 wish I could give 10 out of 5 to the embed-code plugin. You can add separate header and footer codes for each post and page. One can easily add structured data to improve SEO using the embed-code plugin. You can also embed one code to all pages and posts (such as for google analytics.) I received excellent support from the embed-code team. Some of my posts were not embedding intended codes. The embed-code support team dug deep into the issue, researched other plugins that caused the problem, and solved it. Way above five star ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

    This plugin is really easy to use for code embedding. You can choose to embed to the page header or to the page bottom (works on a whole site). Easy to understand and easy to use.
