PLU Redux displays the “Last Updated” date and “Tested up to” version for all of your installed plugins. If a plugin hasn’t been updated in over two years – or hasn’t been tested with a recent WordPress version – you’ll get a warning emoji next to the relevant field.
Version 3.0 adds full support for plugins managed by <a href="https://git-updater.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Git Updater</a>. GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Gitea, and Gist are all supported.
<h3>Usage</h3>
Once activated, head over to your Plugins screen. You’ll see “Last Updated” and “Tested up to” info in the metadata row for each plugin. Warning emojis appear when a plugin hasn’t been updated in over two years or its “Tested up to” version is significantly behind your current WordPress version.
For the Site Health checks, navigate to Tools → Site Health in your WordPress dashboard.
<h3>Git Updater Support</h3>
PLU Redux automatically detects plugins using <a href="https://git-updater.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Git Updater</a> headers and queries the appropriate hosting API for last updated info.
Supported platforms:
<ul>
<li>GitHub (<code>GitHub Plugin URI</code>) – checks releases first, falls back to last commit</li>
<li>GitLab (<code>GitLab Plugin URI</code>) – uses <code>last_activity_at</code></li>
<li>Bitbucket (<code>Bitbucket Plugin URI</code>) – uses <code>updated_on</code></li>
<li>Gitea (<code>Gitea Plugin URI</code>) – self-hosted; requires a full URL in the header</li>
<li>Gist (<code>Gist Plugin URI</code>) – uses gist <code>updated_at</code></li>
</ul>
PLU Redux also respects the <code>Primary Branch</code> header. When there’s no release, it falls back to the last commit on the specified branch.
Note: “Tested up to” is only available for WordPress.org plugins. Git-hosted plugins will only show “Last updated.”
<h3>Site Health Check</h3>
PLU Redux adds two checks to Tools → Site Health:
<ul>
<li>Outdated plugins – Lists any plugins not updated in 2+ years (critical status).</li>
<li>Untested plugins – Lists plugins not tested with a recent WordPress version (recommended status).</li>
</ul>
<h3>WP-CLI Command</h3>
PLU Redux includes a WP-CLI command: <code>wp plu list</code>
This outputs a table of your installed plugins with their last updated dates and tested versions. Plugins needing attention are flagged with an arrow (<code><-</code>). A <code>-</code> in the “Tested Up To” column means the plugin isn’t in the WordPress.org directory.

Your all-in-one solution for intelligently optimizing the WordPress Heartbeat API.
This plugin stabilizes server load and improves the browsing experience during traffic spikes by dynamically controlling the Heartbeat interval based on real site conditions. Instead of relying on outdated manual tuning or fixed settings, it continuously analyzes factors such as user activity, server environment, and page complexity to determine the most efficient configuration for your website.
Designed to work seamlessly alongside most performance and caching plugins, it introduces an adaptive approach that helps your WordPress installation operate at its full potential without adding unnecessary server overhead.
Once activated, the plugin begins optimizing immediately—no configuration required in most cases. It intelligently adjusts the Heartbeat interval in real time, responding to changes in traffic and workload to maintain stability, responsiveness, and optimal performance.
Features:
✅ Dynamically optimizes the WordPress Heartbeat API using real-time site conditions 
✅ Smart automation with optional manual control when you need it 
✅ Custom intervals for the Admin Dashboard and Editor environments 
✅ Option to completely disable Heartbeat with a single click 
✅ Advanced real-time decision making with minimal server overhead that completely prioritises user experience and website speed 
✅ One-click database cleanup to remove unnecessary clutter 
✅ Works alongside most caching and performance plugins 
✅ Multisite compatible 
✅ Install, activate, done — performance improvements begin immediately
For optimal results, it is recommended to use this plugin alongside a caching solution and properly optimized pages (minified CSS and JavaScript, compressed and optimized images, etc.).
Additional Important Information:
Some caching plugins provide manual control over the WordPress Heartbeat API. For best results, allow this plugin to manage the heartbeat intervals automatically. You may continue using other performance features from those plugins, but avoid enabling their manual heartbeat controls.
GDPR-friendly design: The plugin may set a lightweight cookie used solely for visitor counting and abuse prevention (rate limiting). No personal data is collected, tracked, or shared with third parties.
Rigorously tested to maintain reliable performance during high-traffic spikes and under constrained server resources.
