High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow 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
Est. acquisition value
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 am very grateful for this plugin. I have received the message “Warning: An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with WordPress.org or this server’s configuration.” many times when using XAMPP and WAMP servers over the years. I never had issues with the sites on hosted servers. Using WAMP, checking the PHP and Apache cURL settings and increasing execution times and addition of code to the wp-config.sys files had reduced the occurrences, so never a real problem. I recently reinstalled WAMP in order to obtain updates and be able to use PHP 7.2 and 7.3. Since the update, the occurrences of this warning had increased and recently became a serious problem. With debug ‘display’ set to true the pages filed with warnings and finally I could not get updates. The problem occurred on several sites and I had a feeling that changes in WP core files was the cause, possibly with provisions for parallel updates for 4.9.x and 5.1.x, although hosted sites had no similar issues. I prefer to fix problems with my own code, except when it means changing core files. I spent many hours on the issue and went through all the checks and tweaks to no avail. I had not expected to find a plugin, but came across SaFly Curl Patch and no more warnings! A truly remarkable plugin!
