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 6.0.14.

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.

    Works perfectly and without any configuration. I compared thumbnails of the same uploaded image before and after and there’s a very significant difference.

    I guess this is a bit new plugin but given the function of the plugin it could prove extremely useful to those like me whose business relies somewhat on the quality of the graphics on their sites. PS. – In order for it to work on the images already in the database you may need to regenerate your thumbnails and Viola ! Sharp as tack images ! Plus…the developer provides a smooth response. Good luck !
