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 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.3.23, 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

N/A

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.

    Very useful plugin for mobile redirect. Developer was extremely helpful providing custom code so I could redirect to mobile traffic to a site page instead of another URL. Thumbs up!

    Been using this mobile redirection plugin for some time and it’s been reliable, fast and has worked flawlessly on all the sites I’ve used it on that have mobile versions. When it recently stopped working I contacted the developer and the issue was resolved quickly. Keep up the great work. Highly recommended!

    Great plugin, please keep it up. In some situations where responsive layout won’t cut it, having a mobile site entirely to serve a more proper content and design to mobile users is better, this plugin is here for it.
