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 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.1.24, 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 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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

Thanks a lot for making this plugin. Very useful for people with disabilities.

Thank you for this plugin. It should be in GF by default — I am genuinely curious why such an established plugin is not WCAG 2.0 compliant out of the box – it doesn’t take anything away, and only adds usability.

Hopefully vanilla Gravity Forms will slowly move in this direction.

When tasked with making a site ADA compliant, every little change is a headache. When I went through the WAVE tester on a page with a Gravity Form I freaked out a little and had no idea how I was going to fix it. Then I found this plugin… It worked instantly, and perfectly. Nothing to configure or set up. If you’re on the fence, don’t be. Just pull the plug, don’t think about it. You’re wasting your time. It works. A HUGE THANK YOU to the developers. I don’t know what I would have done without this plugin!

Works out of the box, just like it says it does. This should be built into the core plugin.

Nothing easier than hitting activate and reaping the benefits of a great plugin.
