Benchmark

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

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.

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.

Directory rank

Ranked about #18,200 to #19,000, alongside the other plugins at 70+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 1 Nov 2026.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 4 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 66% of the way through.

   I hope that later or sooner there will be a recognized parameter that enables everybody to understand the speed of the service they are contracting. The tool is fantastic

   I love the idea of collecting and aggregating data from a larger network to return better results to each individual. Your other plugin Wordfence is a brilliant example of this, good work. Im interested to see where this could go, i dunno much about CDNs but maybe that could be food for thought.

   Not everyone using this is tech savvy – can you give the rest of us a clue as to what the results mean? I really don’t care what a BogoWip is – I would like to know how many I should have. For some things “more is better” (cash, etc) for other things “less is more” (golf score, etc) Even something as simple as a smiley to give me a hint would be great. ☹

   Works great. Simple to use. With a single click shows how my hosting providers of CPU, Network, and Database performance compares to the industry average. Adding this tool to my tool belt!

   my host is compared to an average.. which is meaningless. I’m using shared hosting.. other might be on VPS or dedicated The data should be displayed alongside averages for each host in a league table, then at least hosts can be compared. I wouldn’t even mind paying a little for a ‘pro’ version for the data. Otherwise.. pointless – unless I have several hosts, and you test each one myself. Please put the data online.
