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 9+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.7.35, 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.

The plugin is really easy to customize and I love the result on my site’s front-end

very useful and nice plugin but even after disabling it on mobile screen it still works on phone, any workaround or update please? that is critical for me. And maybe a random image out of a number of images like 5 or 10 and adding some movement file falling would be awesome on top of this brilliant work.

Works well. It would be nice to have the option to snow only on the main home page, disabling it for all other pages. This topic was modified 8 years, 7 months ago by guyin814.

Very good plugin to show snowflakes on your screen. You can even change the picture by another one, like dead leaves picture for automn ! Perhaps, one day, the dead leaves will “turn”… 🙂 ! Please find the same concept for each seasons 🙂 ! Thank you for this first one 🙂 !

Working great for me and was able to upload my own image to use for Valentines Day. Add a timeout ability (ie- snow stops after 60 seconds to not annoy your visitors) in addition to the scheduling, and you have the perfect plugin.

At the default 25 flakes, my core i7 is running at 25% CPU in Firefox. (ie 100% of one core). This is due to poorly JS code which makes performance terrible. Please update your JS code to be more lightweight and you will be the first snowfall plugin that doesn’t impact site performance.
