I've been working on a tool to make it easier to see the code quality of WordPress plugins at a glance, and to drill into the issues behind that score.
PluginScore lets you enter any plugin slug from WordPress.org and get a detailed code-quality report: security, performance, plugin repo policy, and general coding standards.
There is no signup or login; it's just a web app that runs scans and publishes the results.
Try it out:
- Go to https://www.pluginscore.com
- Use the “Analyze a plugin” box on the homepage.
- Type a slug like akismet, woocommerce, or your own plugin's slug.
- You'll either land on an existing report or enqueue a new scan.
Each plugin page shows:
- An overall 0–100 score, plus error/warning counts.
- A breakdown by category (security, performance, repo policy, general, accessibility).
- A list of individual findings with codes, severities, and links to rule docs.
- Scan history and score deltas over time.
- Leaderboards and “top movers” so you can see which plugins are improving or regressing.
Under the hood, it uses the official Plugin Check (via wp plugin check) and PHP_CodeSniffer with the WordPress standards, plus some extra checks for plugin repo requirements and performance.
The score is a heuristic signal, not a security guarantee.
I'd love hear your feedback.
Thank you
