- Long abandoned. No update in 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.5.0.

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.

I did some research and found most cart-filling plugins are way too complex. Cart-links is simple and straight forward. I can use cart links to make bundles. So soon I will remove my bundles plugin. We always have problems with that one if one of the products is out of stock. And cart-links give you a warning if a product is not on stock, but the cart get filled with the other products. Hey, that’s great! And also great support 🙂 This topic was modified 9 years, 10 months ago by marijke_25. This topic was modified 9 years, 10 months ago by marijke_25.
