Biggest opportunity: Swap “accessibility” for “ada”. “accessibility” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “ada” sits at #7 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 500 of 7.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above 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.
This plugin shipped 13 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

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Md Abdul Kader9mo ago
A very useful and lightweight accessibility plugin that focuses on real, code-level improvements rather than overlays. The ARIA and landmark role tools, along with the built-in accessibility checker, make it easy to identify and fix common accessibility issues that many themes miss. Easy to use, works well with any theme, and a solid choice for improving WCAG-friendly accessibility on WordPress sites.
