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 8+ 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.

This plugin sounds great, as a fix to the HUGE BUG that the wordpress editor has. The bug/decision in wordpress is extremely annoying and unbelievable. The problem is that this plugin does not work. It does nothing. Every time I click ‘update’ in the wordpress editor (editing a page, not a post) then it reloads the entire thing and the cursor is back to the top of the page. This forces the user to find the original cursor position constantly. This slows down the editing. Inexplicably this is still the default behavior in wordpress.

This plugin solves an ongoing PIA. Would be wonderful if this was the default behavior with no plugin required.

Excellent time saver. If you are editing any long list or extensive post, saving the draft or updating the post does not lose your place in the editing process.
