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.

  • 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.
