Biggest opportunity: Swap “redirection” and “redirect plugin” for “redirect 404” and “coffee”. “redirection” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “redirect 404” sits at #19 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “redirect plugin” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #17. “coffee” sits at #22 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →4.0%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 24.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,764 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 43 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it

Great plugin. Zero hassles. Use it to create marketing campaign tracking urls based on my domain.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ lambertstrether2.2y ago
This is a great plug-in. My use case: WordPress URLs are generated from the post title. Sometime, a title needs to change after publication. But the old URL remains unchanged, which looks stupid. This plug-in allows me to redirect the old URL to a new URL that matches the new title. Very simple and focused, used for months with no problems at all.

This plugin is perfect! I was pulling my hair out looking for something to connect my redirect, and this plugin was perfect! I downloaded it, and as soon as I had it uploaded it was as easy as copy and pasting my URL for the site I needed directing to. HIGHLY recommend!!!
