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 3.7.41, well behind 6.8.

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.
What its installed base runs

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.

I installed this plugin and then could not find the search. I later noticed the tiny magnifying glass icon at the top right – I was looking for a search box. In most UI’s especially mobile, there is a search box at the top middle of the screen. My suggestion: make it responsive. So if you are on a wide browser display the search box, if on a narrow browser just the icon. and maybe when you click it, it could even get wider (maybe not). having an omni present search box would get used much more than having to click the magnifying glass each time. Thanks for the great work!
