80 Quality Score
Active Installs
18/30

With 10,000 active installs, Version Info has a mid-sized footprint that signals steady niche adoption but not mainstream reach.

Update Freshness
25/25

A perfect maintenance score reflects the fresh release dated 2026-05-28 and compatibility tested against WordPress 7.0.

User Rating
15/15

The 100/100 user rating is impressive, though the 15-rating sample size is small and could swing with more reviews.

Support Health
8/15

Support health is weak: zero threads opened and zero resolved means there is no track record to lean on if you hit a problem.

WP Compatibility
15/15

Compatibility is excellent, supporting WP 4.7+ and PHP 5.6+, which means it works on legacy stacks where EOL alerts actually matter most.

What It Does

Version Info surfaces live server metrics (CPU, RAM, disk) with sparkline charts, auto-detects server location, tracks uptime, and flags PHP and MySQL end-of-life risks. It also records version history and displays environment indicators directly inside the WordPress dashboard. In practice, it gives technical admins a single screen for quickly auditing the runtime health of a WP install.

Who It's For

Agencies and freelancers juggling multiple client sites, multisite network admins, and anyone running WordPress on aging or non-managed infrastructure will get the most value. Compliance-focused teams that need an at-a-glance audit trail of server versions and resources will also benefit.

Who Should Skip It

Solo bloggers or small-business owners on modern managed WordPress hosting (Kinsta, WP Engine, Pressable) already get this data in their host dashboards, so the plugin is redundant. If you only manage a single low-traffic site, the diagnostic detail here is overkill.

The Bottom Line

Version Info earns an 80.41/100 overall score, with strong maintenance, ratings, and compatibility held back by thin support data and modest popularity. It is a focused, well-kept utility that fills a real gap for agencies and multisite admins, but it is not essential on managed hosting where equivalent dashboards already exist.
