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. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

WP PlugIndex currently records CoCart JWT Authentication version 3.0.3 as active, updated 6mo ago and tested up to WordPress 6.9.

Amazing Plugin. I’m using it to create a react-native app with WooCommerce as back-end. This plugin is a life-saver!
