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.

External services
com service to look up a visitor’s country from their IP address, in order to select the correct display currency.
What is sent: the visitor’s IP address. Note: ip-api.com’s free tier only supports plain HTTP for this lookup (their paid plan offers an HTTPS endpoint).
When: on a visitor’s first page view, when no cached result exists for that IP (results are cached for 12 hours per IP using WordPress transients, so the same visitor is not looked up repeatedly).
Why: ip-api.com is a free geolocation API and does not require an account or API key.
Third-party terms: ip-api.com Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
