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.

Release cadence

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

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.

    El complemento es excelente, probé varios antes de llegar a esta conclusión, no produjo conflictos, es ligero, rápido, no recarga el sitio web, es muy bonito en pantalla, tanto en web, como en móvil. En mi opinión, una oportunidad de mejora sería la opción de crear más de un desplegable.

    Really works well and is easy to set up. I also like the design of the sidebar button, really slick!

    Thank you. I have always felt a lack of plugin like this to make a better User experience design in the mobile view. I strongly recommended installing and use it to help your visitors having a better experience.

    This is what we were looking for and we got it. Left padding is a small issue in default appearance. But can be easily managed using Theme Custom CSS. Thanks.
