High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.1.24, 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 yearHow 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
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.

Works great if you want to park domains with content of main domain (While keeping URL of alias/parked domain) Combined with domain pointers of Directadmin. And probably with PARKED/alias domain in cPANEL. Thank you

I needed a way to make a website accessible from two different domains. After installing the plugin, everything worked out of the box. Great work, thanks 🙂

I’ve been using this plugin for more than a year now and I had no problems, no errors or compatibility issues. I have connected more than three domains to the same website. The fonts are loaded correctly as well.

I have never faced such great support before, especially with a freeware plugin. Author spent some hours on helping me and patiently explaining how to resolve my issues. That’s something you don’t see every day.
