Biggest opportunity: Swap “logo slider” for “tic”. “logo slider” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “tic” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →0.3%
of downloads still active
At least 10 of 2.9K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,319 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Media 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

- Long abandoned. No update in 4+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 6.1.16.

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
