Removal-risk signals

53/100

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 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 6.1.12.

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.

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

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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.

    Спасибо! Много раз писал разработчику WebP Express о том, что в предложенном им варианте для исключения картинок не работает htaccess – ноль реакции. В результате приходилось в части случаев отказываться от плагина или выбирать его аналоги. И вот сейчас в очередной раз ставлю WebP Express и вижу “Plus” плагин и о чудо, он реально работает. Мониторьте пожалуйста изменения, не хотелось бы в новых версиях что бы плюс отвалился. Удачи
