Removal-risk signals

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 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 6.0.14.

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.

    This widget does not fully sync or login. You can put your credentials only for it to be disconnected by the time you leave the screen.

    Some thoughts…. It does what it says on the tin. Its shows reviews and congregates overall ratings from facebook, yell and google my business. The downside…..the actual tool menu has minimal options for customisations. There appears to be some degree of choosing what to display with 4 different shortcodes, but the plugin would be better served by giving the user the ability to select what they want to display. There is one section where it gives the options of all posts, then a bunch of dead menu options, then three short codes boxes all labelled ALL REVIEWS. One displays nothing, one displays only written reviews the other displays the star reviews and the written reviews. It used to only display the star options, but this is has since changed from when i first implemented it. Basically, the plugin author needs to allows the plugin user the freedom to decided layout. The font, even though it can be changed, really should follow the themes parent font selection.
