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 9+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.8.30, 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.

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

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.

    At least on multisite installations (in the free version) you can only see your own profile (Superadmin). I tested this plugin twice. On multisite, free version restrictions do it unusable. The pro version is very expensive and attending to my experience with this plugin I’m not sure if it will work on multisite. It is not “the only productivity plugin for WordPress which will generate detail report how authors are working“. I have solved my needs with this other plugin: “WP Security Audit Log”. I say this, to help people who need this functionality in a multisite installation.

    This plugin is a hoax, when you install discover you can not use. Only you can know your own activity report. For that you do not need a plugin. When you install it you discover that and you must uninstall it, but it leaves traces in your system.

    A waste of time. You can only see your own profile, but no one else´s, unless you buy it.

    Been using it internally for over an year. It made all of us super productive. As an Editor/Admin I have clear idea how others are working, how many posts, how that posts doing etc etc. Super simple, but a must have, specially if you have more then one writer.
