Removal-risk signals

53/100

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 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.6.19.

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.

How 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.

    Wow man, I love this soo much! I used WP Jump Menu a while – then I worked with Elementor a while and they have this dope content-switcher. Now I work with Oxygen Builder and have the same effect. Thank you! Keep up the good work (I wonder why so lees ppl have this installed – it is super duper useful if you have a bit more then pages….)

    This plugin saves me a lot of time to look for settings, posts or pages. It functions with a physical keyboard, so on my laptop, it works out of the box. It is nice that it needs no configuration. Thank you so much!

    Thanks for making such a great plugin. I’ve been thinking about making my own plugin that does something like this and only stumble upon this by chance. Works really well and super useful for getting to content quickly. Really appreciate the effort you’ve put into this. My only feedback would be to increase the search results to 5 or 6 maybe, but apart from that it’s great!

    It’s a must have plugin. I’m a big fan of the OSX spotlight and Alfred app. This plugin has a very similar feel to it and works great. Install it and save a million hours getting around wp-admin.
