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.

Overview
About this plugin
PostPurge – Bulk Delete Posts is designed for reliable cleanup of both small and very large WordPress sites.
Unlike a single bulk database operation, the plugin processes exactly one content item per AJAX request. The administrator can follow every item in a live activity window, pause the operation, resume it later or stop it. Progress is saved for the current administrator.
