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.

Release cadence

No release in a year

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

What its installed base runs

via wordpress.org

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

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

N/A

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.

    After installing this plugin I had lots of errors appearing on my screen when I wanted to activate it. I then decided to de-activate and delete the plugin. Each time I went to delete this SINGLE plugin, I’d get a message asking me to confirm that I wanted to delete ALL my plugins. Obviously this was not the case. Now I have this untrustworthy plugin on my dashboard and would like to have it either work properly or be deleted all together without affecting my other plugins.

    This is great. I use Chris Penderick’s Dev Tools and this is a great add on to that. I only wish this was a browser plugin! I have to install it on all my WP sites, but that is the nature of plugins. Thanks for creating this. It’s fast and more accurate than other simulators that mostly just show your site in an iframe. This picks up plugins and hides menus like the device would. Great job!
