 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.
