Audit WordPress plugins and theme as a defensive review of my own site. List with name, purpose, version, last updated by the developer, active installs if known, whether updates are pending, and cost: [PLUGIN_LIST]. Site type: [SITE_TYPE].

Classify each as essential, useful, duplicate, unused or abandoned, and total the costs with arithmetic (7 premium plugins averaging 60 a year is 420). Explain how abandoned plugins can leave known weaknesses unfixed and how to judge abandonment from the last update and support activity [VERIFY]. Risk score: last updated over 12 months ago (3 points), fewer than 1,000 active installs (1), handles personal data or payments (3), runs on every page (2), no support activity (2), duplicates another plugin (2); review totals over 6 first; show three invented plugins with their scores. Check for pending updates, overlapping functions, and scripts added to every page.

Removal and replacement order with a testing procedure on a staging copy: back up, deactivate one plugin, test key pages and forms, then delete if safe. Never delete a plugin that stores data without exporting that data first. Suggest alternatives by function, not brand, unless I ask. Return a table (Plugin, Role, Risk, Decision, Test), the evidence to keep after review, and a procedure for approving new plugins with a purpose, an owner and a review date. Check names and options against the current help pages, and mark anything uncertain [VERIFY].
