Biggest opportunity: Swap “mobile” for “amp plugin”. “mobile” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “amp plugin” sits at #8 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 600 of 84.5K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Performance plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,103 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Performance 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 20 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| google amp your tag | #6 | #10 | up 1 |
| amp your tag | #7 | #10 | down 2 |
| accelerated mobile pages your tag | #8 | #10 | 0 |
| amp plugin | #8 | #13 | 0 |
| amp for wp | #7 | #10 | 0 |
| speed up google adsense | #14 | #14 | up 1 |
| mobile your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| page speed your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
92 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 6 listed. 86 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
- Swap “mobile” for “amp plugin”. “mobile” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “amp plugin” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
Actively maintainedHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Этой самый простой и лучший плагин AMP, который я пробовала. Если бы еще добавить поддержку рекламных блоков – цены бы ему не было.

Works out of the box. Just enough features for my use case. Two suggestions: 1. Would be nice to have a performance option: to enable server-side cache for amp pages specifically at the plugin level 2. Need an option to add “view desktop version” to the header as well.
