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.

External Services
This plugin relies on one external service to display author profile pictures.
Gravatar (by Automattic)
This plugin uses WordPress’s built-in get_avatar() function to display author profile pictures on the author box and the author page. com — this is standard WordPress behavior used by every theme and plugin that displays user avatars, not something this plugin adds independently.
What it is and what it’s used for: Gravatar (“Globally Recognized Avatar”) is a service that serves a profile picture associated with a person’s email address. It is used to display the post author’s avatar in the author box and on the custom author page.
What data is sent and when: Whenever an author box or author page is viewed, a cryptographic hash (MD5) of the relevant WordPress user’s email address is sent to Gravatar’s servers to retrieve the matching image. No plain-text email address is transmitted — only the one-way hash. This request happens automatically on every page load that displays an author’s avatar, for any visitor viewing that page (the visitor’s own data is not sent — only the displayed author’s email hash).
