High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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 11+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.0.38, 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.
What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.
Estimated active installs
The public count shows “50+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.

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.

Just ran across this. Easy way to get your WordPress site reporting data to your New Relic dashboard. If you have the New Relic software already installed on your server, you literally just install this plugin and it starts reporting within minutes. No settings required – just picks up your server settings. Doesn’t get any simpler!

Just implemented this. Great work No settings or dashboard required. Works out of the box naming your applications domain.com domain.com wp-admin domain.com cron domain.com ajax I modified the code slightly, so that all 4 of these were reporting into one rollup application so see everything together as one. But otherwise. It was perfect. Great plugin for a great service like New Relic.

Just set up New Relic on our server and then installed this plugin. Without any other configuration, New Relic reporting split it into four applications: The main domain (for visitors/readers), Admin, Ajax, and Cron. Awesome. Thanks!
