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 SparkSwipe Variation Swatches for WooCommerce version 1.1.4 as active, updated 1mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
SparkSwipe Variation Swatches replaces WooCommerce variation dropdowns with color, label, and button swatches on variable products. It uses WooCommerce’s native product attributes and variations as the source of truth — it does not duplicate products, stock, or prices.
Why merchants like it
Easy — a setup wizard configures attributes in a couple of minutes
Beautiful — three style presets (Minimal, Classic, Modern) with shape, size, and gap controls
Fast — frontend CSS and JS load only on product pages
Compatible — works with WooCommerce’s variation form, prices, images, and add to cart
