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 9+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.6.30, 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.

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

N/A

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.

    Hello, Since you use Miners.me REST API, avatars of players online aren’t show. Please fix it, it’s a good widget and I loved it 😉

    I have been using this as a widget on my website. I realised it was loading very slow so I made checks of the background and even asked friends in the US to see if it was just my net. As soon as I remove the widget the site will load instantly. It does however work but I cannot have it on my website.

    The plugin is the best one I’ve seen so far. It has a few bugs but works great as a starter. I’m looking forward to seeing the bugs fixed. Keep it up!

    I was wanting to get 2 servers to display, have them on different ports and stuff, but only one will show up on the site. Would love to know if anyone has found a way to display more than one server.

    As I’ve managed most of my server websites using WordPress I’ve also needed a plugin to find the information about my server to make it more userfriendly for my players. This plugin got it all. As usual I add my servers to a Minecraft server list and then simply use this plugin to let it appear more neatly. I really notice an increasement in players..

    Useful plugin, I recommend it. A lot don’t enable the query and it’s impossible to get online stats. I tried to use on Minecraft Servers list and it’s cool.
