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 11+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.2.39, 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 active installs
The public count shows “300+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.

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.

Good works Vlado, But, instead of abbandon this plugin make it commercial (PRO) and take care of it. Google maps dont work well, they changed something in this year. Make it work for custom types. Make it adapted to Shortcode UI (Shortcake). Many people would buy licence for this, I guess anyway. Still 5 stars, it doesnt influence rating. Sorry, forgot. Few more fields for images for credits would be welcome. All images from Flicks and net needs it to be on safe side of law.

Works pretty good on 4.4 and exactly what I want. Nice plugin to increase productivity and good timesaver. Dear developer, is it possibly to make links from Google & Wiki search open not in the same tab where my post/page/custom-stuff edit is, but open them in different tab? Yes, I know it is possibly with right click, but… =)

Thank you for this very helpfull plugin. One question: Can take into account the locale, so we can use an other wikipedia base url e.g. de.wikipipedia.org instead of the hard coded en.wikipedia.org ?

I’ve used this plugin for years. Even though WordPress has a built-in tool to link to previous content, I like this plugin’s approach better. Unfortunately, when searching My Blog, it doesn’t limit the results to just published blog posts. I’ll see results from comments or from the Feedback post type via Jetpack’s Contact Form. I’d also like to see an option to configure the number of results so I can go from 5 to 10. Other than that, it works well.
