Biggest opportunity: Swap “clean”, “database” and “restore” for “snapshot”, “wordpress mu” and “wordpress vote”. “clean” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “snapshot” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “database” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “wordpress mu” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “restore” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “wordpress vote” sits at #16 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 10K of 1.3M lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,771 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 1 release 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
- Swap “clean”, “database” and “restore” for “snapshot”, “wordpress mu” and “wordpress vote”. “clean” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “snapshot” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “database” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “wordpress mu” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “restore” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “wordpress vote” sits at #16 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Sergeirichard6mo ago
A lot of the features of this plugin are locked up for the Pro version, which is something I generally find annoying. However it merits the five stars because it successfully and easily did what I wanted it to do: Restore a theme to its default appearence when that theme provided no reset option of its own. This topic was modified 2 months, 3 weeks ago by Sergeirichard.

I think this plugin is one of the fastest for database backup and restore. I would like to improve the appearance of the record row comparisons and the difference highlighting. A tabular view instead of plain text would be good.
