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
Stop fake or misused emails in your comment section.
This plugin prevents spam and ensures valid email ownership by requiring users to confirm their email address before a comment is submitted.
When a user leaves a comment, they’ll receive a one-time confirmation link by email. Their comment won’t appear until they click the link — no accounts, no passwords and no friction for real users.
Why Use It?
– Improves trust and deliverability.
– Cuts down on abuse, spam and bot activity.
– Ensures email addresses actually belong to the commenter.
– Comments from verified users go straight to approved or pending in the future.
