Every check pulls live data from the WordPress.org Plugin API. Each of the five factors below is graded green, amber, or red — worth 3, 2, or 1 points. We total them, divide by the maximum, and turn it into a percentage. 75%+ is Low Risk, 50–74% is Moderate, anything below 50% is High Risk.
How long it's been since the developer last shipped a release to WordPress.org.
Plugins that go quiet for a year or more typically aren't getting security patches. Three years without an update is effectively abandoned.
How recent a version of WordPress the developer has explicitly tested the plugin against.
WordPress ships major releases roughly every four months. A plugin that hasn't been tested against the current branch may break, conflict with core changes, or quietly fail on newer PHP versions.
How many live WordPress sites are running this plugin right now.
A large install base means real-world testing across thousands of stacks, and a higher chance someone has already reported any nasty edge case. Tiny plugins can be brilliant, but they get less scrutiny.
The average WordPress.org user rating, weighted by how many ratings the plugin has received.
Ratings expose what the changelog won't — frequent breakage, dark patterns, support that ghosts you. A handful of five-star reviews from a brand-new plugin isn't meaningful, so we flag low sample sizes amber regardless of the score.
The percentage of support threads in the plugin's WordPress.org forum that the developer has marked resolved.
It's the cleanest available signal that someone is actually behind the wheel. A plugin with a healthy install base but a dead support forum is a plugin you'll be debugging alone.
One nuance worth flagging: the Last Updated check counts double when a plugin is more than three years old. Abandonment is the single strongest risk signal, so we weight it accordingly rather than letting a healthy install base mask a long-dead codebase.
A score is only useful if it leads to a decision. Here's how we'd act on each verdict, based on a decade of cleaning up WordPress sites that didn't.
