of downloads still active
At least 40 of 7.4K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| sliding panel your tag | #10 | #24 | up 2 |
| horizontal sliding panel your tag | #13 | #22 | up 1 |
| vertical sliding panel your tag | #13 | #21 | 0 |
| tides | #15 | #12 | down 1 |
| floating panel your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| sliding tabs your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
8 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 4 listed. 4 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- One page off on “horizontal sliding panel”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “vertical sliding panel”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “floating panel” and “sliding tabs” 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.
