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 11+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.9.40, 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.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow 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
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.

It works but it takes too slow when you click on next/previous page and some time it fails to show next page. The navigation style is not well designed.

Dear Support, Why does the featured image duplicated on multiple splited post ? We split long posts into pages using the <!--nextpage--> which works well however the featured image is duplicated on each page which is a bit annoying. Could you help me on this issue ? Regards, L.

Not sure why other people are having issues. With the ability now to work from page breaks on Pages, this is exactly what I needed.

not working on my site, and as for the use style option, i see no difference whether its activated or not, tried in all the twenty themes and still no ajax, even with only this plugin active.

Neat plugin. Haven’t seen anything like it before. Works fine with wordpress 2012 theme and akismet and wp native dashboard and TinyMCE advanced.

Poorly coded and will trigger a “fatal error” in more than one kind of WordPress template (as in completely different sites, with different themes and different kinds of plugins on each) so beware if you’re actually intending to turn this on.
