How it works
Three steps, all in the open.
We read WordPress.org's public data all day, including the code where test versions appear first.
We measure each product's release rhythm and publish a date, a window and a chance, with every source.
When it ships, the page turns into a launch page. Every hit and miss stays on a public record. 30 plugin pages so far, growing every day.
Questions
Is this official?
No. We are independent and not affiliated with WordPress or any plugin maker. Official dates are labelled as official and come from the WordPress release team's own schedule.
What does the percentage mean?
It is the share of comparable past releases that landed in a window like ours, reduced a little because samples are small. It is an estimate, never a promise.
Do you test plugins?
No, so we never say a plugin is "compatible". We only report what its maker states on WordPress.org.
Why are some plugins missing?
We cover plugins with at least 1,000 active installs and add pages a few at a time, so the site grows steadily.
