#42981: Sorting plugins and themes

PLEASE - Sort themes and plugins into :
Premium
Fremium / Cripple ware
Free and fully functional
Not as described in the image (Pretty picture, preview looks nothing like
it = Hours of work to make it look like the demo. I'd write a theme if I
wanted the work)
Anything not updated in the last 12 months - "Abandoned" pile, not visible
Anything with ratings - Sort by rating - Under 3 - not visible
Not tested on latest WP version - not visible
Not tested on PhP 7 - not visible
Speed test rating - Google wants a 2 second load time for mobile. Let's
have an apples for apples rating. 5 pages, 10 images, 1000 words and (say)
Yoast, Wordfence, WooCommerce and 4 other common plugins.
I am sick to death of wasting hours on sifting this garbage - Make these
'Filters' and help everybody.
You tell us to update things for security reasons and some of us
professionals do that.
Client sees a pretty picture then it turns into a nightmare for the above
reasons and who has to fix it for free or spend hours looking for a
replacement?
The login Username should not be the default Editor name. You've handed a
hacker half the login.
Security - Set permissions to prevent malware spreading - in 2017, one
client had malware uploaded to his site and it spread to all other sites
and within site folders. WordPress should be containerised by default and
SQL / Updates / changes should require 2 factor authentication to update
anything (Just a 'secret password')
Yes, I know, experts can fix this. In reality, most people do not have the
skills. I buy a tool and assume the manufacturer has designed it for Joe
Public to use with inbuilt basic safety.
Last suggestion - A fork of WP for eCom with included carts, security etc.
Google wants fast loading and WP struggles, so fork it to optimised
versions :
Blogs
eCom
Membership
Versatile - Current version (as is)
and the revolutionary version - Offline. This is where the site is built
offline and uploaded as a stripped down html5 flat file database version
that is a speed demon static site. Lauyan.com looks promising.
