Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Add Index To Autoload Plugin
This tool will speed up your database queries by adding an index to the “autoload” field.
With this index the query time for the autoload option will not increase with growing table size.
Therefore it helps speeding things up – especially with big option-tables.
Plugin-Overview
This plugin offers four options:
A one-click check mechanism to check if indexes on the autoload field exist
An option that adds an index to the autoload field
One-click index removal
Adding a simple wp-cronjob, that periodically checks if the index still exists and notifies you, if it doesn’t.
