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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | Change |

| theme hook alliance | #7 | #7 | — |
| syslog | #16 | #18 | 0 |
What to do about it
- Add “virtual patching”, “theme hook alliance” and “syslog” to your wp.org tags. You already rank #4, #7 and #16 for them without listing them. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so these are the slots worth spending.
