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 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.6.30, 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 year

How 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

N/A

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    Does not work with user created post content. Even a simple match by title would work better.

    I gave this a negative review because I thought it didn’t work. Turns out I’m an idiot (reimported posts get a numbered suffix). And worse, here on the plugin review page, you can only edit a review; you can’t delete them. So thank you WordPress for this bullshit.

    After testing other plugins – more downloaded, more rated whatever -, this was the one that helped me to delete about 1500 duplicated posts! 🙂 BUT!, i can’t buy the Redirect At this time we are unable to complete sales to EU residents. Why? Purchase unavailable in your country
