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 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.7.0.

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.

How 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

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.

    If you have a store that ships a lot of small items that don’t have dimensions or standard boxes, this is a very easy plugin to use. It totals the weight of the cart and creates a weight based request for rates. We have a store that sells a lot of large and small items and the boxes can go easily over 75lbs when totaled with everything in it (ie: 2 40lb items), which causes errors in returning rates (exceeds the weight limits). This is a really light plugin so it was very easy for me to rewrite a portion of the code to split boxes and make it work for our client.
