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 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.4.34, 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 yearHow 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
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.

Full of ads and scam

This is spam. If you are even a beginner in PHP, just grab the first two functions and add them to your functions.php file, they will fill your needs. The rest is spam.

This plugin inserts a dozen of ads, including graphics, very prominently into the user interface. Worse, every user can dismiss every single of these messages (separately) and the plugin makes sure to remember this “setting” for every user as a meta value – polluting your database with senseless garbage. Lastly, the plugin enures not to include an uninstall action hook, so you need to manually clean up this mess. Well done. That’s how to promote your business. NOT.
