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 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.
What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

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.

he’s doing a good job, but it’s not great. I would say it will speed up your website by about 30-40%. It’s pretty good. Especially you don’t have to do anything more than install it.

Amazing work!!! Lots of thanks to Author. I’m experiencing some problems with my MYSQL server installed with Cpanel. My server is showing 100% usage of mysql even if I don’t have too much traffic on web. Start thinking to upgrade server but after installing this free plug-in it will change usage to just 10%. Little code did bigger change. Great Work!!!

This plugin does absolutely nothing. Just look at it: https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/wp-super-speed/trunk/wp-super-speed.php It defines a handful of variables, then asks for a donation. How was this even approved??
