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

NexIndex is built for performance-obsessed creators. Unlike other plugins that load heavy assets, NexIndex uses zero jQuery and intelligent conditional loading.

We reimagined navigation to be beautiful, intelligent, and editorial-friendly. Say goodbye to ugly lists and welcome a modern reading experience.

🚀 Killer Features

  • Dual-Mode Headings (Exclusive):
  • Standard Block: Create classic H2/H3 headings on their own lines.
  • Inline “News-Style” Heading: Create headings that merge seamlessly into the start of a paragraph (like in newspapers). Google reads them as valid headings, but they visually flow with your text.
  • Per-Post TOC Toggle: Enable or disable the Table of Contents on any individual post or page directly from the Gutenberg Document Settings panel — no global rule needed.
  • Auto Heading Suggestions (No AI): Optionally let NexIndex scan your content and suggest H2/H3 headings from simple text patterns. You review each suggestion and apply the ones you want — nothing changes automatically, and no AI is used. Works in Gutenberg and the Classic Editor.
  • Cursor-Following Vertical Popup TOC (Desktop): A sleek vertical navigation strip that follows your cursor on desktop screens, showing all headings with ScrollSpy highlight. Hidden automatically on mobile.
  • 5 Modern Skins: No coding required. Choose from Glassmorphism, Notion-style, Midnight SaaS, Minimal Border, and Card Shadow.
  • Live Editor Preview: See your TOC structure update in Real-Time directly inside the Gutenberg sidebar.
  • Smart Mobile Widget: On mobile, the TOC automatically transforms into a sleek Floating Button or Bottom Bar to save screen space.
  • Reading Progress Bar: A slim progress indicator at the top of the screen to encourage reading completion.
  • Smart Anchor Generator: Automatically removes stop words (e.g., “how-to-cook-rice” instead of “how-to-cook-the-rice”) for cleaner URLs.
  • Hybrid Editor Support: Works perfectly in both Gutenberg (Block Editor) and Classic Editor (TinyMCE).

⚡ Why NexIndex?

  • Zero Bloat: Written in Vanilla JS (<10KB). No jQuery dependencies.
  • SEO Optimized: Uses semantic HTML5 <nav> and valid ARIA roles.
  • Developer Friendly: Clean code architecture and hooks.
