Biggest opportunity: “cookies”, “embeds” and “gdpr” 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.
Not scored yet. Nobody has reviewed this plugin, so a grade would come from directory averages rather than from anything measured here.
Install conversion
How it's measured →1.7%
of downloads still active
At least 10 of 597 lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Privacy & Consent plugin keeps 2.2%, across 498 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Privacy & Consent plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookies your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| embeds your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| gdpr your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| privacy your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| youtube your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
36 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 36 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
