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.

About this plugin
This plugin is built for users who don’t need comments on their website and want a clean, distraction-free experience.
Once activated, it disables all comment-related features across the entire site — including posts, pages, custom post types, admin panel, and API endpoints.
