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 12+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.6.1, 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.

Doing 100% what it’s supposed to do in WP 4.1.4 + Responsive Theme. Just 1 little suggestion/ request: change the label in the sidebar from CSS to Mobile CSS, because I already have a CSS menu item in there, too, and it’s confusing that Mobile CSS is just (i my case also) called CSS, too. I bet almost everybody who’s editing CSS for mobile, is also editing it for desktop. Other than that, great. Maxaud has not updated the code in 2 years, but I guess there isn’t much to update because the detection script works as long as the standards don’t change?

Much better, than writing all those media queries + the entries makes it easier to manage for not so savvy CSS people. Great stuff!

I am using this along with Firebug on my PC. I choose the section that doesn’t display correctly on the phone and then make the changes. I then add those into the css rule of this plugin. So easy it is crazy. Love this plugin
