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 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.31, 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.

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 accomplished, what all others failed to do: make my images responsive, which was blocked by my theme’s developer (Grand Photography by Theemegoods). From what I’ve seen, support is outstanding and doens’t leave anything to be desired.

    I tried many different plugins before i found this one, and it’s easily the best of the bunch. It allowed me to add srcset to all the images on my website which wasn’t done by default with my theme. As other reviewers have said, the plugin author is very helpful and definitely lives up to the claim that Responsify WP cares about responsive images!

    The current WordPress responsive image implementation only inserts srcsets for your images when the aspect ratio differs by less than 0.002. If you wish to insert srcsets where the images’ aspect ratios differ by greater than 0.002, this plugin is a must! If you theme already creates a ton of image sizes and you don’t want to waste them this plugin is for you. The rwp_add_filters filter with the included snippet in the documentation allows you to apply the srcsets to images used by other plugins and widgets. Further, the author provides fantastic support on the forums – bugs are fixed quick. This is a great plugin with great support!

    Great work, thank you so much, this is exactly, what I needed! I did something wrong in the first try – I used custom media queries and forget to add the unit of measures (in my case px) to the value.
