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. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records Time to Update version 1.2.0 as active, updated 1mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.

Time to Update sends you a nicely formatted email notification whenever updates are available for your WordPress core, installed plugins, or themes.
For security conscious site owners who want to keep their site up to date, Time to Update provides a simple, lightweight, and set-and-forget solution. It ensures you never miss a critical core security patch or a plugin update just because you haven’t logged into the dashboard lately.
