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.

Thank you Josh and James for building this. I love that I can download Gutenberg-compatible plugins to test on GutenBridget.com. The buttons look great and the work very well. Thank you. The weird part for me is not seeing the preview or a save option when I add the block. I just updated the post and boom, it worked. The other thing that is a tiny bit of a bummer, though I suspect it’s because I don’t have a block template yet, is that I have to add it to each post manually. Whereas with Mashshare, I just tell it to be on all posts. I cannot wait to see how you iterate this plugin. I’m so excited about this. Thank you Bridget Willard BridgetWillard.com GutenBridget.com
