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 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.5.33, 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.

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.

    Looking for something that starts right away and doesn’t wait for ads to load before disappearing.

    It injects the CSS and JS code of PACE project, better than we can do manually. Reliable and with a great preview. Thank you for this nice plugin!

    This plugin works flawlessly with WordPress 4.7.3 It does what it says, implements a site-wide progress bar. The options for the plugin are in Appearance -> PACE Pro.

    WHAT preview at the admin panel? After installing this plugin there was nothing different on the back end, no settings or tools that I could modify. The only options were to modify the code directly or to deactivate. Which is what I’ve just done. Thanks anyway!
