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 AnchorWise – Automatic Keyword Links version 1.1.0 as active, updated 1mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
AnchorWise turns the words you’ve already written into working links.
Give it a keyword and a URL, tell it whether to sweep your whole blog or just certain categories, and it finds the first mention of that keyword in each post and links it for you.
No opening hundreds of posts by hand. No hunting for every mention. Set a keyword once, and every matching post starts sending readers where you want them, whether that’s another article, an offer, or a product you’re promoting.
Your posts are never changed unless you ask. Links are added as each post is displayed, so removing a keyword removes its links instantly.
