- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.5.2, well behind 6.8.

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.

The plugin does what it says it does: calls your synchronous javascript code asynchronously. However, it makes no effort to make sure that modified javascript will still run, even for common usage patterns such as jQuery plugins, etc. Be sure to make sure *all* JS on your blog still works after installing.
