Biggest opportunity: “hive”, “post” and “widget” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 30 of 4.2K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,189 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance 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 4+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.8.19.

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.

Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence

Plugin is not supported anymore. Buying pro-Version does not work. Seems to be a dead project.

Unusual presentation widget but you have to go to pro version to have some control on what is shown.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ PhilipBarrington11.0y ago
This is a new plugin, and I think I may have been early adopter here. The potential for this is great. Basically it re-cuts thumbnails (or other sizes) as hexagons and displays them hyperlinked on the page in a widget or shortcode. The pro version certainly makes the product a lot more powerful and the E10 is worth the effort. This is a plugin that can help your site stand out from the crowd. And the developers are keen, quick to respond, and are open to suggestions. I think this is doing to take off. The rebuild with new functionality was delivered within the week. I am very impressed.
