High removal-risk signals

- Long abandoned. No update in 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.31, 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.

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.

Does not work, just loads a google map (not where I wanted it) without the pins. Also downloads a plugin called “MapPress” which I did not ask for. Needs fixing.

This is a fantastic plugin, and a real example how to create something simple but at the same time very flexible. It is very easy to configure, all the options I needed are right where I expected them to be. The front end presentation is very nicely laid out, there was no need to modify the styling which is rare with most plugins. Great initial release, and there is not much to add.

It’s awesome to add Google Maps with specific pins this way.
