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 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.31, 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 year
from wp.org release tags

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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. 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.

    It’s simple and it works. But there is a huge Cumulative Layout Shift. This causes terrible performance in Google’s PageSpeed Insights. Also, now that WordPress has updated jQuery, this plugin is dependent on obsolete code. This topic was modified 5 years ago by mesmer7.

    От сайта к сайту, устанавливаю только его. работает “из коробки” без багов. Запоминает в cookie выбор посетителя (gird или list). Рекомендую!
