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.
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.

I like this plugin because it takes away the mundane task up updating everything on sites that do not to be babysat. Yeah, it seems to miss some plugins, like iThemes, but that’s not surprising since they have their own proprietary update system (so it seems). Handy!

This plugin cannot update plugins automatically but I can say its okay for core wordpress updates. I chose and ticked all of the options but still plugin update wont work…

I’ve got this running on 5 sites, works great! Once it is setup, it really makes it incredibly easy to maintain a site by not having to do anything. I like that I can select what I want to update, form themes to plugins to Core and minor updates. Thanks!

This plugin really rocks. Now I have a true zero-configuration, always up-to-date WordPress installation.
