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 5.2.26, 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.

    Doesn’t work anymore. When you try to send a notification, it turns, and nothing happens. No update in three years and OneSignal changed a LOT of things in their system. So this app can’t work without a bug fix. And as it seems dead…

    It is an excellent plugin. Simple and useful. It should have many more downloads. It allows you to schedule notifications of old posts on your blog, which new visitors have never seen. It’s a very good idea. It can also be used to send notifications of new posts at the most appropriate time, different from the post publication time.

    I have installed OnSignal Push Notification. It works perfectly and I can send messages through OneSignal. To have more ease on shipments, so I installed OneSignal Sender but, it remains blocked by asking me to install OneSignal Push Notification, but, it’s done! And the message: “I’m going to help you” at the bottom of the screen does not seem to serve: I’m still waiting for the answer.

    Very nice script ! It could be nice to add some extra : like to be able to re-order the column about the subscribers or to know where they come from Goog job !
