Biggest opportunity: “admin”, “admin tools” and “customize” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →7.1%
of downloads still active
At least 3K of 42.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,187 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.8.19.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

Great plugin. Easy to use and good performance. Thanks!

It didn’t make any changes besides hiding the comments for the admin menu. I selected which plugins/menu items I wanted to hide but it didn’t hide anything besides the comments. Tried hiding the top-bar and same thing. I chose “Only me” and didn’t make a difference. I wonder what’s wrong?

This plugin does everything I needed it to. I had one small issue with the image uploader, but Yehi was really quick to address the issue and release an update.
