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 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.1.24, well behind 6.8.

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.

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 is an absolute must for all WordPress users who want to send bulk emails to their WordPress users without having to purchase services from bulk email service companies like SendinBue or MailChimp. The software consists of two plugins “Simple Email Queue” and “Simple Email Queue Plus”, the last one just costs 10$ and does a great job. In the Settings you can define the interval in seconds of sending eMails and in the second field you can define the max number of eMails to send for the defined interval. It works great even with other plugin. If you have question, just ask Milan the developer. Milan is very competent and provides excellent support. I’m excited!
