Biggest opportunity: Swap “admin”, “custom” and “google” for “factory”, “custom font” and “font plugin”. “admin” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “factory” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “custom” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “custom font” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “google” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “font plugin” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 900 of 23.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,189 plugins.
