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 11+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.2.39, 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.

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.

    Excellent PlugIn… Just what I was looking for to prevent access to the source code; I want to protect iframe code and the test I have performed using IE11, Edage, Opera and Chrome using this Plugin works smoothly… “Muchas gracias!”

    Dear Mr Ashok Dhamija, I would like to express how I appreciate your work on this plugin. I have tried two other content copy protector plugins recently, both had many thousands of users. But, they did not do the job as well as this one. The problem was, that I have registration forms on my site. After switching on the plugins, I tried registration. It did not work. It was not possible to WRITE the @ sign in the registration field, nor copying the email address into it. So, they were a disappointment. But, YOUR plugin DOES allow both writing @ and pasting email addresses into the appropriate field. It works. Great job. I hope you are going on with developing other plugins or this one, it IS worth. Thanks
