High removal-risk signals

63/100

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 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.

Release cadence

No release in a year

How 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

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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 recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    There is the only option this plugin provides is to generate an image sitemap. There is no control over excluding any image or URL. If you running a website with multiple status pages just like 302, no-index pages, etc. this plugin used to add all images and as a result, you got a lot of errors in the Google Search Console.

    It’s such an amazing plugin! This is probably the only free image sitemap plugin that works with woocommerce! Great job, guys!

    Tried a few image sitemap plugins, and this one did exactly what you’d expect – simply generates an XML sitemap of all images in the site. Nice plugin.

    Seems to work great, just submitted to Google Webmaster Tools, let’s see the results.. Right now I have only 5 images indexed from the 129 submitted with Yoast. As stated by Yoast: https://yoast.com/image-seo/ We don’t generate these in our plugin.. Adding images to your XML sitemaps help Google index your images, so be sure to do so for better image SEO.

    I have Yoast but none of my images seem to be indexing with that plugin. Udrina got good reviews but gave me a blank site map. This one did the trick. Submitted to Google and images started indexing right away. If you want to checkout the output, here’s what the sitemap looks like: https://hikingguy.com/sitemap-image.xml
