Biggest opportunity: “animation”, “blur” and “blur effect” 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 60 of 11.1K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with 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 11+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.2.39, 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.

This plugin is great! I liked the demo and I really hoped that this plugin would work with the theme I’m using on a site for a non-profit. It works! It’s great! I haven’t been able to figure out the menu levels and the size that I should have made the logo for retina displays… but aside from those two issues… this menu is cool. Any chance that you could provide some documentation on your website?

I thought this would replace the existing menu on the site for mobile users. Instead it adds a navigation bar to the top of the screen, which is not obvious at first and is redundant because the original menu is still there. When I clicked on the new menu bar, it blurred the page behind the navigation but ALL of my navigation was clumped up in the navigation window making it illegible. I don’t see a way to edit any settings so I had to remove this plugin.
