How rankings are calculated
All rankings on this page are algorithmically computed from real signals — no editorial curation or manual placement. Each section uses a different algorithm optimized for a specific dimension of plugin quality.
Install copies track how many users have copied the install command from a plugin listing. GitHub stars and maintenance score (0-10) reflect repository health — commit frequency, issue resolution, and release cadence.
Trending velocity measures recent install momentum over the past 7 and 30 days, with bonuses for newly published plugins and recent commits. Sparks are a community promotion mechanism — users assign time-limited boosts to plugins they vouch for.
A plugin may appear in multiple lists when it excels across different dimensions. Rankings refresh automatically through cache invalidation and hourly revalidation.
