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 4+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.9.16.

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.

    This plugin says in the description: “renaming the files you upload to the media library with SEO friendly names”. Unfortunately, this is not the case, the file names are only overwritten if you don’t upload the images directly to the media database, but rather to the post. The data from the attachment is not used either, but from the post. So you have – and that’s very bad for SEO – not just one image with the file name, but several. 3 stars because it runs well and does what it shouldn’t do for SEO 😉 The plugin has potential. It would just have to use the attachment data from the media database and update the file name when the data in the media database changes.

    I love this plugin when planning lots of posts in advance. I don’t have to think about the image name anymore, it gets automatically changed when uploaded to the library. I can choose the format, I generally put %blogname%-%slug% or just %slug% but you can use many other variables. Great tool
