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 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.1.24, 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.

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

≈$43 range $12–$160

Est. acquisition value

≈$150 range $30–$720

A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The range spans more than 10x because wp.org publishes install counts as broad bands, and conversion and price compound on top. Read the midpoint as an order of magnitude, not a valuation.

How we estimate this

Assumptions

  • Free → paid conversion. 0.5%–2% of active installs pay for the pro tier. Typical for freemium WordPress plugins; the real rate varies a lot by product.
  • Annual price per customer. $79–$199 a year, typical for eCommerce plugins rather than this plugin's own pricing.
  • Acquisition multiple. 2.5x–4.5x annual revenue, the going range for small WordPress-plugin businesses, stretched a little because downloads are growing.
  • Install base. 30–40 active installs, from our install estimate (wp.org only publishes the floor).

Revenue is installs × conversion × price; value is revenue × a typical acquisition multiple. Every factor is an assumption band, so the output is a wide range on purpose. If you're buying or selling, treat this as a starting point for due diligence.

    This is one of, if not the best, hotspots I’ve seen. Unfortunately it’s use is way too limited. I would really like to see this available for PageBuilders like Elementor or Brizy. Restricting it to just the Gutenberg build makes it hard to really use. Having the ability to make rounded corners, control the color of the background and fonts, plus controlling the H and W of the box is like nothing else I’ve seen. Great job! It would be helpful if you could control the size of the markers. They are quite large. It would be nice if you could control the positioning of the tips too. With only being able to position the to the right of the marker can be an issue. And finally, be able to use a standard photo image inside the tips and not just for e-commerce listings would really top it off. This topic was modified 7 years, 1 month ago by MBExpo.
