High removal-risk signals

- Long abandoned. No update in 9+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.7.35, 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 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.

This plugin does not work at all. Instead of a carousel, an empty window appears on the site.

Dead Links to documentation and to purchase the pro version. WP Version 4.9.8

It’s really nice plugin, that uses Slick.js – but since carousel itself needs to be called via js function, it could use some more customization from backend, so configuration won’t be lost after update.

It looks like to the carousel I have looking for a long time : latest posts display, multilingual (title), CSS styles easy to customize… One lack: no button “Read more” 🙁
