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 9+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.7.35, well behind 6.8.

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.

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 spent months trying to learn to code an iOS app. Then I discovered Reactor. It’s easy to use, intuitive, and the technical support is extremely helpful and responsive. If you’ve got content on your WordPress site that you want to integrate into an iOS app, this is the means to do it. Kevin Harker

    Finally, what WordPress users and the rest of us have been waiting for since the advent of the iPhone/iPad – a brilliantly easy way to make Apps from WordPress sites. Five stars definitely – with the caveat that I am expecting much more advanced out of the box functionality in the coming couple of years. Messing around with the Ionic Framework – which will allow all this right now – does not look that complicated actually. (That is, build with Reactor, tweak in Ionic) With Reactor – it seems – our only barrier as budding App developers will be our imagination.
