wp.org search vs our merit ranking: “export emails”
wp.org orders by popularity, so a plugin a host bundled onto millions of sites, or a big-brand one that's slow and mediocre, can sit at the top. Our ranking is built to answer a different question: which of these is actually worth installing. How this works →
For “export emails”, we agree with wp.org on the top plugin, and our order differs from theirs on 7 of the top 20.
