Biggest opportunity: One page off on “dequeue”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

How it's measured →0.5%
of downloads still active
At least 10 of 1.9K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Performance plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,104 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Performance plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 1 release in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

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 |

What to do about it
- One page off on “dequeue”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “assets”, “pagespeed” and “performance” 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.

dont waste your time with this scammy plugin all you can do is remove some meta overheads. if you want to remove assets as it is called ASSETS manager you must pay for pro version of this plugin! this kind of practice needs to be banned because it is time wasting and scammy.
