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 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.3.23, 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.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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.

    Happy to see many of this plugin’s features are now included in the Genesis framework itself. Still a useful plugin for checking theme support and working on your theme accessibility.

    Thank you so much for creating the plugin. I admire you for it and it also helps smaller/one-man businesses to give their site accessibility without the need to hire someone until they’re ready for a redesign.

    This is a great plugin that works and is really easy to use. It fixes some of the issues that Genesis has for example labeling the searchbox. That was primary reason for me using this plugin. Also provides the much needed keyboard navigation to the dropdown menu. Saved me a lot of time.

    I use this tool to get control on my content with the thrust that my site-content is WCAG 2.0 compliant. Without this i cannot edit data without help. I use braille and speech, so i need more then what you see is what you get. This reminds me that a feature for manipulation of CSS would be a nice addition to this plug-in. I recommend this tool for admins and webmasters who want to deliver clean and usable content and layout. Regards, Peter Hof Vision VOF.
