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 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.

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

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.

    This is a great plugin, clean admin interface, no ads, does what its suppose to do and i have not had any conflicts as yet… only 1 final request to make it a 5 out of 5, most image files names have a ‘-‘ between each word to make them more compatible in filesystems, however the alt tags created carry across the hyphen, the plugin should be able to strip this out and make it a clean alt tag. If authors do this i will be happy to donate to this plugin 🙂

    If you’re lazy like me, you probably stopped bothering filling in those alt tags a long time ago. This plugin works and is well-supported. It takes the title attribute and inserts it into the alt attribute of the image. Easy fix!
