Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Aegistha Security Checkup version 1.0.1 as active, updated 2mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.0.
Overview
About this plugin
Aegistha is a calm, honest security checkup for non-technical WordPress owners. It explains your real risks in plain language, prioritizes them honestly, and fixes the safe ones in one click. It never uses scare tactics and never changes anything that could lock you out.
What it does
A plain-English checkup — your security posture at a glance, split into what Aegistha can safely handle for you and what only you can do. A simple meter shows how many checks are in good shape, with honest priorities (matters a lot / worth doing / minor) instead of a wall of red alarms.
One-click safe fixes — for lockout-zero items only: turn on admin alerts, block username discovery, disable the dashboard code editor, turn off XML-RPC, hide your version, and add basic security headers. Every fix is explained before you apply it and can be undone.
“Your part” checks — Aegistha verifies what it can and tells you exactly what to do: outdated or removed plugins and themes, a pending WordPress update, an out-of-date PHP version, a site not using HTTPS, and an account named “admin”.
Email alerts — get notified when an administrator signs in, a new admin is added, or a plugin or theme changes.
Honest by design
Login changes stay advisory — we tell you if your login is exposed, but we never hide your login URL or lock you out.
No fear-scores, no upsells, no security theater. Aegistha focuses on the fundamentals that prevent most break-ins and is upfront about what it does and does not cover.
