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 No External Links version 5.3.0 as active, updated 1mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.

Warning

No External Links may conflict with cache plugins.

Usually adding the redirect page to the caching plugin exclusions works fine, but there are no guarantees.

Create a support topic if you need assistance resolving a caching issue.

Please provide as much detail as possible, for example, what version of WordPress & PHP you are using. Which caching plugin you are using. The more information you include the better.
