Biggest opportunity: Swap “cdn” and “cloud storage” for “s3” and “healthcheck”. “cdn” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “s3” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “cloud storage” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #16. “healthcheck” sits at #9 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 7K of 86.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,769 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 17 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.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “cdn” and “cloud storage” for “s3” and “healthcheck”. “cdn” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “s3” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “cloud storage” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #16. “healthcheck” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “cloud storage”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Dr. Melvin Temo5mo ago
A little technical but that’s when I was creating my Cloudflare R2 storage. The app is straightforward. However, it seems my webp images aren’t sent to the bucket. Thanks

This plugin is broken on WordPress.com hosting. I want to make this clear, that this is not a fault of the developer, though. Jetpack (even with image optimization off) automatically messes with some of the thumbnails, which leads to the plugin’s offloading feature failing repeatedly. (From what I can tell, it adds the virtual:true flag to the image). Regenerating thumbnails doesn’t work. I gave this a 3-star and not a 1-star because I migrated to a self-hosted setup, and it’s working fine.

Thank you for this amazing plugin! It works like a charm, out of the box. I’ve tried it with all sorts of different s3 storage providers, even some lesser known. It worked with all, custom URLs and all… Just great, congrats!

I don’t have experience with other offloading plugins, but Advanced Media Offloader has been an absolute joy to use — simple, intuitive, and straightforward.

I tried several plugins—this one is the cleanest and easiest to understand. Top-notch support, thanks to the developer! Keep up the good work!

I had a challenging task — exporting about 4 TB of media files to R2. I personally reached out to the plugin developer, Masoud Golchin, and within just two days he configured everything so that my site worked flawlessly. The support was exceptional, and the plugin is incredibly reliable and efficient.There is simply no more stable alternative out there.A solid 5 stars!
