Get a health score (A+ to F) for every installed plugin. See which plugins are safe, risky, or should be replaced — in plain English.
Korizo gives every installed WordPress plugin a letter grade (A+ through F) based on five key health dimensions: maintenance, compatibility, security, performance, and popularity.
Think of it as a credit score for your plugin stack.
Install it, click “Scan Now,” and immediately see:
- Which plugins are healthy and well-maintained
- Which plugins are risky or abandoned
- Which plugins have known security vulnerabilities
- Which plugins are slowing down your site
- Whether your plugins are compatible with WordPress 6.9
No developer jargon. Just clear answers and actionable recommendations.
Key Features
Health Scores for Every Plugin
Each active plugin gets a letter grade (A+ to F) based on five scored dimensions:
- Maintenance (25%) — When was it last updated? How often is it maintained?
- Compatibility (25%) — Has it been tested with your version of WordPress and PHP?
- Security (20%) — Are there known vulnerabilities?
- Performance (20%) — How much overhead does it add to your admin?
- Popularity (10%) — How many sites use it? What do users rate it?
Overall Stack Health Score
A single number (300–850) that summarizes the health of your entire plugin stack — like a credit score. Know at a glance whether your site is in good shape or at risk.
Plain-English Risk Alerts
No technical jargon. You see messages like:
- “Contact Form 7 hasn’t been tested with WordPress 6.9. Update may cause issues.”
- “Flavor Plugin hasn’t been updated in 24 months. Consider replacing it.”
- “Yoast SEO is well-maintained, compatible, and performing well.”
WordPress 6.9 Compatibility Check
A dedicated section showing which plugins are safe to use with WordPress 6.9, which have known issues, and which need updates.
Basic Performance Benchmarking
Optional benchmarking measures which plugins add the most overhead to your admin pages.
Pro Features
Plugin Alternatives Engine
Get curated recommendations for better-scoring replacements when a plugin grades poorly. Covers 25+ plugins across 18 categories with score comparisons.
Update Risk Assessment
Before updating a plugin, see a risk score based on 6 factors: version jump size, changelog quality, release freshness, support sentiment, rating trend, and WordPress compatibility. Know whether to update now, wait, or proceed with caution.
Deep Performance Analysis
See exactly how many hooks, callbacks, and database queries each plugin registers. Identify the real performance bottlenecks — not just load time, but what each plugin is doing under the hood.
Who Is This For?
- Site owners who manage WordPress sites but aren’t developers
- Bloggers and solopreneurs who want peace of mind about their plugin stack
- Agencies who need to quickly audit client sites
- Freelance developers who want to professionalize their maintenance reports
How It Works

Scans run automatically once daily to keep your dashboard up to date.
External Services
This plugin connects to external services during normal operation:
WordPress.org Plugins API
When you run a scan, the plugin queries the WordPress.org Plugins API to retrieve publicly available metadata (version, ratings, active installs, last updated date, support threads) for each installed plugin. Only plugin slugs are sent; no personal or site data is transmitted.

Freemius
This plugin uses the Freemius SDK for optional license management and usage analytics. On activation, you are asked whether to opt in to anonymous usage tracking. If you opt out, no data is sent to Freemius. If you opt in, basic site environment data (WordPress version, PHP version, active theme) is shared.
