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 13+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.4.2, 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 year

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.

    Sweet tool – great for WooCommerce reviews in particular. Awesome that it STILL WORKS IN 2021!! That alone is worth a review. That being said, it would be helpful to have it maintained simply for my sanity 😂

    After 7 years I didn’t expect the plugin still works flawlesly with WordPress 5.4 for two most popular sites: YouTube and Facebook. Super awesome. Thank you so much author. Hopefully you’ll be back here some day. Cheers. 😀 This topic was modified 6 years, 3 months ago by Huu Minh. This topic was modified 6 years, 3 months ago by Huu Minh.
