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 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.8.30, well behind 6.8.

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.

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. 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.

    The plug-in does well what’s expected from it. I wish a few more options were available, like choosing between road/sat map, maybe filtering positions inside a certain perimeter (e.g. to not show a particular location within a city, but rather average all positions within 5km)… Also being able to edit points or lines (to change the color, for instance) would be great. Good job, in any case!

    I coded this to comply with he WordPress guidelines so that my site would not be open to vulnerabilities using an unverified plugin as is available. This is up to date for latest WordPress guidelines and Spot interface unlike the other plugin that hasn’t been updated since around ’12. Many more features in the pipeline This topic was modified 8 years, 9 months ago by ShaunMc.
