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.

Overview
About this plugin
This plugin adds a custom column to the list of posts and pages in the WordPress admin area, and displays the word count for each post and page in the column. It also makes the column sortable, so you can easily sort the posts and pages by their word count.
New Feature
• If a “word_count” postmeta exists, sorting by “Word Count” uses it for precise numeric ordering.
• Otherwise, sorting uses an approximate calculation based on spaces.
Adds the word count of each post to the post list in the admin area and makes the column sortable.
