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 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.

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.

    Installed and work well. However on custom and mobile template or custom it shifts the screen in half – and had to removed it. Was using the Wildbook Christmas theme.

    Does not disturb what we have on the site and grace enough, leaving the site with a real Christmas mood

    Adds just the touch of ecksmus cheer I was hoping for to my otherwise boring site. Nothing to configure, just activate and you’re good to go. Don’t forget to deactivate before January 6th though, or you run the risk of bad luck.
