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 Simple Upload Weight Limit version 1.0.0 as active, updated 9mo ago and tested up to WordPress 6.9.
Overview
About this plugin
Simple Upload Weight Limit is a minimalist and essential utility for multi-author blogs, client websites, and community sites. It prevents users from exhausting hosting space and bandwidth by blocking the upload of unoptimized, oversized files.
Unlike complex membership plugins, this tool focuses on one thing: keeping your Media Library clean and your server performance high.
Features
Custom KB Limit: Easily set your preferred limit (e.g., 500KB or 2048KB) via the settings page.
Role-Based Protection: The restriction automatically excludes Administrators, ensuring you always have full control.
Smart Feedback: Provides clear, translatable error messages to users when a file exceeds the limit.
Performance First: No background processes or bloat. Only clean, secure PHP that runs only during the upload process.
