Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance 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 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.4.21.

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.

As this plugin was not updated for 3 years, I hesitated to give it a try. However it still works in may 2019 on WP 5.2.1 Hope the author would consider keeping it up to date in the future. Thanks, Annie

A very useful Plugin. Switching between pages/posts can also be achieved w/o this plugin by opening another tab. But I agree with the author (Marc Wiest) that it might be easier on your cognition (it is on mine) to be able to switch between pages without having to scan through a bunch of tabs on top of the browser. (Marc wrote why he created this plugin on WP Tavern in an article by Jeff Chandler: https://wptavern.com/fast-page-switch-adds-a-quick-way-to-switch-between-pages-in-the-wordpress-backend).

This simple plugin works very well and saves a lot of clicks and time. The intuitive interface is a breath of fresh air; it just makes sense. The current post is preselected. Post types are grouped which is great when you have multiple custom post types. But the best feature is the filter. Just type a few letters and the list is filtered to match. Thanks Marc!
