How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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.

    I am a web developer and have tried many security plugins with millions of downloads, but none compare to MalCure. This plugin thoroughly scans all files and accurately detects malware-infected files in WordPress installations. I have used Wordfence and several other top-rated plugins, but none were able to detect the hidden infected files. Surprisingly, MalCure works exceptionally well and identifies all malware-infected files effectively.

    I always come back to this. I initiate a scan and it finds everything.
