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 Slim Mobile Theme Switcher version 1.1.0 as active, updated 4mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.0.
Overview
About this plugin
Ever wanted to serve a dedicated theme to visitors on handheld devices instead of a theme that is fine-tuned for big screen traffic?
Slim Mobile Theme Switcher is a highly optimized, lightweight plugin designed for websites that need to serve a different theme to mobile devices while preserving the primary desktop experience.
Instead of relying on clunky, resource-heavy device detection libraries, this plugin uses streamlined, modern user-agent detection to instantly route users to the correct theme before the page even loads.
Key Features
Three-way Theme Routing: Serve up to three different themes simultaneously. Set one theme for Mobile Phones, one for Desktops, and optionally enable a dedicated theme specifically for Tablets (iPads/Android tablets).
True Mobile Detection: Uses refined regex to separate small-screen phones from tablets (iPads/Android tablets).
Zero-Friction Setup: Select your themes from a simple dropdown menu. No coding required.
Manual Overrides: Allow users to manually switch between views using?theme=handheld or?theme=active or?theme=tablet.
Persistent Choice: Activating the ‘Remember Visitor’s Choice’ option ensures that when a user has manually selected a different theme, this preference is saved for 30 days via cookies.
No Bloat: Zero front-end CSS or JS added by the plugin itself.
Developer Friendly: Built by a developer for developers.
