Removal-risk signals

45/100

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 11+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.

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.

    Hi, Thank you for creating this plugin. I have heard and read lots of things about Adsense invalid activity and was searching some solution for it. I was reading a blog post and came to know about this plugin. Though I have not applied for Adsense yet for my site, I want to know that is this plugin still useful? And is there anything else to do once I install it? ( From technical side ) Because this plugin is not updated since 1 year? If you are still active on this forum, I would love to get a reply back from you. Thank you. have great time. 🙂

    This is a simple plugin without complex and confusing admin options. Works like a charm!

    Works as expected, use it to show ads or other content depending on the nature of the visitor. I wish it would work with caching, though.
