How it's measured →9.2%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 10.8K 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.
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 9+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.7.0, well behind 6.8.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| axp your tag | #2 | #1 | 0 |
| gost your tag | #3 | #3 | up 1 |
| bsi your tag | #11 | #9 | up 1 |
| bgn your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| yandex your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
3 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- One page off on “bsi”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “bgn” and “yandex” 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.

Хороший плагин, нормально транслитерирует ярлыки, но к сожалению не транслитерирует вложения, в частности изображения, если название файла написано кириллицей.

Gents, Today I’ve install this plugin & thankful to Dev for this! Great job! On my project ~ 7-9 plugins & custom theme, none conflicts with each. Спасибо за плагин, пожалуй самый свежий из всех что мне довелось найти. Никаких конфликтов с темой и плагинами на сайте, каких у меня на проекте около 7-9 штук.
