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 Scoutwise Usage Audit version 1.0.0 as active, updated 2mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.0.
Overview
About this plugin
Over time, WordPress sites accumulate plugins that are no longer needed — but it’s risky to guess which ones are safe to remove. Scoutwise Usage Audit scans your installed plugins and your site’s actual content to tell you, one by one, whether each plugin still looks like it is being used.
Core Features
Detect unused plugins — flags inactive plugins, and active plugins whose shortcodes/widgets/blocks were not found anywhere in your content.
List pages using shortcodes / widgets / blocks — a full cross-reference table showing exactly which pages and posts use each shortcode or block, with direct edit links.
Safe-to-remove suggestions — plain-language guidance for every plugin, not just a status label.
Bonus Features Included
Block usage detection — modern block-based plugins are scanned too, not just legacy shortcodes and widgets.
Widget area report — see every registered sidebar and what’s currently placed in it.
Exclude list — mark backend-only plugins (security, SEO, caching, backups) so they’re never wrongly flagged as “unused.”
CSV export — download the full report for offline review or sharing with a client or team.
Cached, on-demand scanning — results are cached for performance and refreshed automatically when you activate, deactivate, delete, or update a plugin, plus a manual “Rescan Now” button any time.
Clean, filterable admin UI — searchable, filterable table with color-coded status badges.
This plugin is 100% free and open source (GPLv2 or later). It does not phone home, make external requests, or collect any data.
