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 11+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.0.38, 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.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Graeme Fulton9.9y ago
I’ve made a few changes to this plugin so that the link preview looks very similar to those on Medium.com. I added a template and css to show the post image, title, description and original link in a card format (instead of just the image). I also added an extra parameter so you can paste any custom image in (if you don’t like the one attached to the link) You can see an example in the links I added for this article on my prototyping site. The only problem I had was with the lazy-loading setting, as I changed the image embed to a background image of a div so that I could centre the image If anyone is working on the plugin and wants my changes please find them here on GitHub
