Search Console vs Search Engine Insights for Google Search Console

Head-to-head on the signals that matter, from the public WordPress.org data.

Active-install trajectory

Search Console moved down one install band, 3K+ to 2K+. That's a single step across the whole window, so there's no trajectory to draw. The download trend below moves daily.
