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 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.4.34, 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.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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

N/A

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.

    Thought I would try it, since this is what I need, and I’m working on a local host. Too old. don’t bother.

    It is a nice plugin for Genesis framework. Genesis’s default breadcrumbs don’t show up in search, this plugins solves the problem.

    I have used this on several client sites. Works great, no issues. I recommend this breadcrumb plugin over others since this feeds the SEO robots with tasty data.

    I like this plugin as a standalone. However, I am already using Yoast’s WordPress SEO plugin which I realised has the same breadcrumb functionality. Also for the semantic HTML5 folk, try something like <nav id="breadcrumbs"> rather than a <p> or any other inappropriate container element.

    Using it on one of my sites, just about to set it up on some others, and it does exactly as I need without lots of fluff.
