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 4.6.0, 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.

It’s so nice and works pretty well. Please keep updating this and make it Gutenberg Ready 😀 Thanks a lot.

Switch the media library layout from grid to list mode and you’ll see the View Image URL link. The only way this could be improved for me would be to add checkboxes to each image and a Get All Selected Image URLs so I can paste them en-mass but otherwise a handy little plugin.

When you’re trying to grab URLs for a bunch of images in the media gallery, this is a huge time saver. There’s not much to it, but what it does, it does well. Thanks Norcross!

This is a great plugin that is simple and clean… and makes a certain ongoing task so much easier. And BTW – love the FAQ!

This saves all kinds of time. I often build pages in HTML and bypass the WP media insert system. I have a window open and have to click edit on each media file I am working with to get the url. That was then, and I just dealt with the extra tabs and time. Now that this plugin is here it will go onto every site I work on. This belongs in Core.
