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.

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.

    Does what it says on the tin. Great for version history rollback.

    I was looking for a solution to easily edit CSS files without having my team overwrite my work. If I need to restore from a previous version, it keeps the history along with the time/user stamp. The CSS file is indexed last so the classes will take priority. All changes made are seen immediately without clearing cache.

    I love this plugin! It’s great for working with other developers when not everyone has FTP access or you just don’t want to mess with your source code. If you make a mistake, you can go back to a previous version where everything was working. You also cannot work on top of another user so you won’t have conflicts or chances of deleting each other’s work. We use this on all of our websites! (I think the 60+ active installations are mine! )
