# WP Analyzer

> An independent analysis of the WordPress.org plugin directory: 78,013 plugin records, read and classified into a two-level taxonomy by a language model, and published as statistics, leaderboards and a page per plugin. Not affiliated with WordPress.org or Automattic.

Every figure here is computed from stored records, not estimated. Two things to carry into any use of them: **the classification covers 11,364 of the 78,013 live plugins (14.6%)** - so category counts are counts of that sample, not of the directory - and **plugins with no ratings store a rating of 0**, so every average on this site excludes them.

Figures last rebuilt 2026-11-05 16:08 UTC. The directory itself publishes no categories; the taxonomy here is this site's own work.

## Using this data

The underlying plugin metadata belongs to WordPress.org and its plugin authors and is reproduced here under their terms.
