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 13+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.5.2, well behind 6.8.

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.

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

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.

    I used to love this plugin. But it seems to be broken with the ever-evolving wordpress, and it hasn’t been updated in quite a long time. When I view my website from a desktop, it first gives me the mobile page. If I refresh it, it will load the correct desktop version.

    This plugin makes it very easy to have a separate mobile page that you can auto direct to. The only issue that I have is the 36 second cookie. It would be better to have something like yourdomain.com/=?mobile=false (or whatever it would usually be) as a link set to disable the mobile site, and then on the full site have a link to go back to mobile by setting the url to true

    redirect plugin is closer to usable then the others, still a few issues. 1. No control over which devices get redirected (tablets are different then mobile) 2. Cookie should be set by the PLUGIN using a URL query paramter, not require mobile website to create the cookie… or at least it should be an option… programming shouldn’t be required to use the plugin.

    Been trying for a while to get just the front page of my site to redirect to a different page on mobile devices, someone else had a similar question and the author provided very good support on that, and I was able to follow easily. Thank you!!
