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 5.6.19.

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.

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.

    it seems good, but i have to log in every time i want to see the stats which is very annoying. Sometimes, it shows nothing, you have to wait for some minutes to show something and sometimes it does not show where the last visitor came from. If you go to their website to see the stats, it is worse, you cannot see anything at all

    This is the best real time tracking, live stats plugin I have ever used. I have been really impressed with how quickly and easily this can be installed and utilised. The stats are very logically set. The generated data are more then useful for me… thank you! This topic was modified 7 years, 7 months ago by anna1984anna.

    This plugin provides a lot of excellent information and can become addictive to monitor once installed. In some cases you can see the search term used to visit your site, plus real time monitoring of visitors and which pages they visit. Highly recommended plugin for those wanting more detailed info about visitors to your site.

    It clearly says in the title that it has a heat map. It’s tagged with heatmap twice….the heatmap is in the PRO paid version. Waste of time to install, it’s nothing but bare basic features and full of upsells. See: http://www.extrawatch.com/features/
