Removal-risk signals

45/100

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 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.

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 year
from wp.org release tags

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. 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.

    Very glad i found this brilliant plugin! It’s clean, without unnecessary distractions (no lightbox!) and works perfect. The fact that it lines up all the images very neat (including on smartphones) and the ability to add caption and title next to the image, makes it a no-brainer. I did purchase the pro version which has some additional settings. The developer (Mike) is very kind and dedicated to help and to further develop the plugin. Thumbs up! Bert
