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 HTTP 410 (Gone) responses version 1.2.1 as active, updated 2mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.0.
Overview
About this plugin
This plugin issues an HTTP 410 response for URLs corresponding to content that has been permanently removed from your site. Originally created by Samir Shah, now maintained by Matt Calvert. When a post or page is deleted, the plugin logs the old URL and returns a 410 response when that URL is requested.
You can also manually manage the list of obsolete URLs.
The HTTP Specification defines the 410 Gone response for resources that have been permanently removed. It informs search engines and crawlers that the content will not return, improving crawl efficiency and SEO clarity.
This plugin is actively maintained by Matt Calvert as a personal project, informed by previous professional experience with similar 410-handling logic. No proprietary or employer-owned code has been used.
