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.

Lazy loading — Images use native browser lazy loading
Accessible — Lightbox supports keyboard navigation (Escape to close)
Zero configuration — Just add a feed URL and go
