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 11+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.0.0, well behind 6.8.

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.

    Can’t go wrong with this plugin if you are just posting text and images on your blog. I really like using this plugin, or Flying Pages by WP Speed Matters… can’t go wrong with either of them.

    It caused readers to have to click twice on links on my site to get pages to load. Can’t recommend.

    It means there is no need to change existing ones. It does not mean setting has no need. Thank you for your review.

    BANG — there’s the next page. But it ‘breaks’ all of the pages to which one navigates. I think there’s probably a conflict between this plugin and caching, but the plugin description specifically states that nothing needs changed: About 0.5 seconds faster page load of the site…without making any changes Ergo, I’ve bypassed asking for support and gone straight to review. I would, however, be interested in knowing the environments in which this plugin was tested since there’s nothing all that out-of-the-ordinary about ours.
