 To make users able to check the impact of plugins and themes and see if
 their usage is worth it or not we need an additional plugin with a
 connection to the repo, like an **extension for Site Health** (Jeff Paul
 suggested that it looks like a Site Health related).

 == The "message" of the Site Health extension can be:
 1. Check your site performance
 2. Get results (and act)
 3. Share information (purely related to plugins execution without any
 personal or domain-related data) with the repository to give plugins you
 are using a performance score.

 == Why we need to check performance:
 Plugins (and themes) can be heavy and make a huge impact on site
 performance for small enhancement site owner wants.

 I proposed to add a performance index to plugins and themes on the repo:

 But there is no way to get actual data, especially for plugins, without
 real websites, so, it looks like the only way to get real information
 about plugins' performance is from sites owners and their own free will.
