Excellent quality and security
What this score means
Scores are calculated on a 100-point scale by analysing six weighted categories: Security, WP.org Readiness, Performance, Code Quality, Accessibility, and Vulnerabilities. Open vulnerabilities are weighted by severity, CVSS, and patch availability, and incomplete source data can reduce confidence slightly.
-
Excellent The plugin follows best practices across every measured category. It is well-maintained, low-risk, and recommended for production use.
-
Good Strong overall quality with minor areas for improvement. Generally safe to use on most sites.
-
Needs Review Some areas of concern detected. Review the full issues report and weigh the risks before installing on production.
-
High Risk Significant quality or security problems found. Exercise caution — check the details carefully before using this plugin.
Low confidence (68/100) based on metadata completeness and vulnerability evidence quality.
Open vulnerabilities are weighted by severity, CVSS, and patch availability, then adjusted slightly when the source data is incomplete.
This report is missing some source confidence, so the final score is intentionally conservative.
