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 4.2.39, 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.

I really love this plugin. I started using it years ago and before I stopped working with WordPress then when I returned to it one of the 1st plugins I went searching for is this one. I actually put a note in this note that says, “This plugin DO NOT REMOVE!” for me so I will not accidentally delete it. Yea, I did that once and liked to never found it again. It sure would be great if the creators had a version that can put notes on other areas of WP or, maybe, they will create a residual note that would be retained on every page of WP. Sometimes a not to my staff to use particular shortcodes or etc. would be great where I make the note then instruct everyone to always take a look there every time they post or edit inside WP to use codes or information I need them to do.
