74 Quality Score

Active Installs

14/30

A modest install base of 1,000 active sites limits the dataset behind the recommendation, but engagement from those users appears strong.

Update Freshness

25/25

Recent update activity within the last few months and confirmed compatibility through WordPress 7.0.1 indicate the plugin is actively maintained.

User Rating

13/15

The 86 out of 100 average across 30 reviews reflects broadly positive user experiences, though the sample is still small.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads opened in the tracked period means there is no signal either way, so the score reflects limited evidence rather than proven responsiveness.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Compatibility marks full points thanks to PHP 7.4 support, current WordPress testing, and a sensible minimum version of 6.7.

What It Does

Plugin Groups adds a grouping and filtering layer to the Plugins admin page in WordPress. It lets administrators create custom groups, assign plugins to them, and filter the plugin list by status or group to make large plugin collections easier to scan and manage.

Who It's For

This is a good fit for site administrators or agencies managing WordPress installs with a large number of plugins, where the default alphabetical plugin list has become hard to navigate. It is also useful for developers maintaining client sites who want to visually separate utility plugins, feature plugins, and experimental plugins.

Who Should Skip It

Anyone running a site with under 15 plugins will gain little practical benefit, since the native plugin screen already remains manageable at that size. It is also not a substitute for plugins like Plugin Organizer that control load order and conditional loading.

The Bottom Line

Plugin Groups solves a narrow but real problem: making a crowded Plugins screen readable. The maintenance and compatibility signals are excellent, and ratings are strong, but the small install base and silent support record mean cautious users should test it on a staging site first. It is a useful utility rather than a critical one.

Plugin Organizer 77/100

Pick Plugin Organizer instead if you need to control which plugins load on which pages or posts, since its scope is conditional loading rather than visual grouping.
