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 18+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 2.5.1, 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 year

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

N/A

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.

    wpSpoiler is very simple and useful plugin. I needed it, I was searching it during very long time, and after all Fortuna smiled on me. This plugin does very simple thing – hides some text we want to hide, and shows it to users who want to see hidden text and who click the link “show”. Well, maybe my English is not as good as this plugin 🙂 But why have I rated wpSpoiler as Great, but not as Fantastic? Because nowadays users want to see something not so simple, but something that moves, slides, fades, etc. So, I wish author to add some effects with jQuery, and than I rate this plugin as Fantastic. The plugin really deserves very good marks. Thanks to author for Thing That Works!
