What is WP Gems?

WP Gems is a curated ranking of WordPress plugins that fall below typical install thresholds but show strong signals of quality. It's ideal for bloggers, solo site owners, and small agencies on shared hosting who want to discover tools before they blow up.

  • We rank plugins using a scoring model (ratings, recency, compatibility, activity).
  • We filter out obvious spam, outdated, or poorly supported plugins.
  • Each edition is a snapshot you can link to — great for newsletters or social.
