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 Gone Control version 0.5 as active, updated 7mo ago and tested up to WordPress 6.9.
Overview
About this plugin
When content is deleted in WordPress, the default behavior is to return a 404 (Not Found) status code. However, according to HTTP specifications, a 410 (Gone) status code is more appropriate for resources that have been permanently deleted and will not return.
This plugin automatically returns a 410 status code for:
– Deleted posts
– Deleted pages
– Deleted custom post types
– Deleted users
– Deleted media attachments
Once activated, the plugin works automatically. When a visitor tries to access a URL that previously contained content but has been deleted or moved to trash, they will receive:
A 410 HTTP status code in the response headers
The standard WordPress 404 page template (customizable via your theme)
