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 4.0.38, 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.

Seems unable to load sites as of WordPress 5.2, just hangs

No response to any questions for almost three years, yet he has a website with the info updated six months ago suggesting it’s a live project. Yet it doesn’t work, and regardless of how you list the gallery you want to access, it just goes into an endless loop. I tried commenting on his website linked from the install, just to confirm that the address format is correct for the link, and while he lets positive reviews go up live, he just deletes negative comments showing it isn’t working. Nice.
