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

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.

    Thank you, thank you! This was so easy to use; no need for HTML but this plugin does have CSS options which I didn’t use as I don’t know either of these coding languages, so it was ideal. The result, I personally, am very happy with. It is as the plugin states – ‘Simple’; add your own words, add an image, use the CSS option if you wish and hey presto – a ‘website coming soon’ home page. If your site is live like mine and you are still working on it and not familiar with coding, give this plugin a try. As the author wrote, make sure you are logged out to view the page. I can promise you that it works. You, and I, can work on developing a site that is live without worrying. Thanks again JS 🙂
