Biggest opportunity: “ad manager”, “ads” and “analytics” 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 →1.1%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 8.8K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Analytics plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,007 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Analytics 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
45/100Maintenance 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 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.

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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| ad manager your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| ads your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| analytics your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| google adsense your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| google analytics your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
10 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 10 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Release cadence
