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 4.4.34, 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.

exactly what I was looking for, my thanks to the developer.

It works for regular pages, however, it doesn’t for blog posts. Issues/support threads are not answered, worse: are closed without answering.

Simple to use and does exactly what it says. Definitely 5 stars. My only question is (I’m new to this stuff): Is it safe to be using such an old plugin? Even though I know it wouldn’t need updates for the functionality, is using this plugin going to make my site unsafe or does it need updates simply for security reasons? Thanks!

I have All In One SEO, and Jet Pack and these do not show up on the pages with the code, cannot find them doing a search for “noindex” With NoIndex Pages, it’s there!!! Thanks
