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.

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. 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.

    The only specialized plugin of this kind that correctly manages both Last-Modified and If-Modified-Since HTTP headers, returning ‘HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified’ header when page content is not changed since last visit. Works for custom post types as well. You can easily check related server responses for your website here: http://last-modified.com/en/

    Last-Modified and 304 Not Modified is Ok now. But my server is Nginx so I cannot change Cache-Control with this plugin

    Be warned. Using any of these other header plugins will cause your eCommerce shop’s cart to be empty upon refresh. This plugin is the ONLY plugin that actually works. Trust me. I have tested out many on over 10 sites in my search to find the perfect solution, and this plugin was it.
