We&#8217;re projected to hit 2 billion Plugin downloads this year, which is a 20% year-over-year growth. And, as you know, WordPress has an incredible auto-update system. In fact, there have been over 3 billion plugin updates over the past year. And with some of the updates in version 6.7, we may even hit 3.5 billion. That&#8217;s very exciting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may remember last year in Madrid, because I like to talk about challenges and successes here. And last year in Madrid I mentioned that the plugin review queue had increased to 79 days. That meant that, if you submitted a new plugin, you had to wait more than two months to have it reviewed. I have good news, as you can see on the slide. Thanks to the incredible work of our plugin review team, that queue, which was over 1300, was completely reduced to zero in October. It&#8217;s not just about speed. The quality of submissions has improved a lot, which is why we launched the Plugin Check Plugin verification tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since we launched it, we&#8217;re seeing 41% fewer issues approved per approved plugin. And teams are approving 138% more Plugins every week. So huge kudos to the Plugin review team for realizing that and putting more plugins in the hands of the community&#8217;s experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With year-over-year growth of 20%, it&#8217;s clear that the Plugins ecosystem is thriving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And Plugins are really the free marketplace of ideas where anyone can try new things for WordPress, some of which might even make it into core, or can completely transform what WordPress does. So, once again, kudos to the Plugins review team, as you can see here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This year has been a great year when it comes to WordPress Plugins, and I&#8217;m very proud to be a part of it. I&#8217;ve grown as a professional by learning a lot from my peers and getting involved in a multidisciplinary team thanks to the Plugin Check Plugin tool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What does the next year hold for me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think I&#8217;ll be working to raise awareness of this tool which goes a long way in making the WordPress ecosystem more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to incorporating more checks, some new and other creations adapted from the internal tool, originally created by <a href=\"https:\/\/frantorres.es\/\">Fran Torres<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo taken by wordpress.org Yesterday, the new features that WordPress will be working on in the coming year were presented.
