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 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.0.27, 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. 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    This plugin keeps thigs simple and only tries to do one thing, I wish all plugins were the same but unfortunately most users (and plugin authors) don´t understand that often less is more.

    The lack of Plugins > Add New link was driving me totally nuts. This plugin does exactly as advertised and keeps me sane. ^_^

    This plugin is great if you want to easily access the plugins page in the network admin from a single install admin. Good time-saving fill-in solution. Thank You!

    Works perfectly. One click from a subsite and you are in the search for plugin, network admin. Great, thanks.
