Biggest opportunity: “debug”, “developer” and “development” 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.

How it's measured →1.2%
of downloads still active
At least 200 of 16.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,765 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.4.34, well behind 6.8.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| debug your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| developer your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| development your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| tool your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

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
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

assets with dots cannot be managed
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ X-Raym11.1y ago
I was just looking for a way to see what assets were loaded, to determine what plugins to desactivate on certain custom post type using Plugin Organize. This plugin do that, but it can also do more, like let you show the source, the dependencies, the source link and even provide you a way to disable certain resources. Maybe a simple list or assets would have been more readable than the actual GUI, but it is nice anyway 🙂 It is somehow close to what the Gonzales (not free) WordPress plugin has to offer, but Gonzales has a bit more rules to offer for de-queing the resources. Anyway, this plugin is nice, and is a good complement to more complex plugins such as Plugin Organizer (for which you can define rules on post level).
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Jon Dennis11.1y ago
Took ages to find this amazing plugin because of its odd title, and it was so helpful to finally find out what scripts were being loaded on each page. For example, woocommerce loads of lot of unnecessary scripts, so whatever plugins you are using, if your site is slow this plugin will magically help you find out what scripts you can dequeue.
