Outdated Plugin Notifier

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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.

   I’m using this plugin now for several months and on several websites, and it has been very useful to me. Thank you so much for this lightweight plugin that takes care of this small but important feature!

   I was using a similar plugin called Last Updated Column, however it’s not available any more. I’m pleased I found this as it helps highlight plugins that are no longer being maintained.

   This is so awesome, I don’t know why it’s not included in WordPress by default. It’s a lifesaver. It makes it so much easier to see which plugins could potentially have security issues or conflict issues. Thank you for creating and maintaining this for us all. Gary

   This plugin is important for every website. I was able to quickly see which plugins are no longer being maintained and thus making the website slower.

   Definitely a handy plugin and should be used by everyone — at least once. Just so they can have a look see at how old their plugin versions are. Suggestion: give a bit more “oompf” to plugins =>3 years old as they should definitely be updated, replaced or removed. By comparing current year to last updated year you could add a class like: .date3yr { color: #c00 font-weight: bold; border-style: dotted; } Keep up the good work. 🙂
