Biggest opportunity: “checklist”, “post” and “shortcode” 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.

How it's measured →4.8%
of downloads still active
At least 400 of 8.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,773 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 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.0.31, 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |

| for your tag | Not checked yet | ||
| in your tag | Not checked yet | ||

Sad this isn’t working for me. It’s just what I want but ah well.

Very good useful plugin ! Works well with ELEMENTOR thanks to the configuration and the shortcode. Small +: It would have been great to allow us to customize the check boxes and the text (as grayed out or red in color by default, for example …) Thank you

I would love to be able to change the color of the checkmarks/bars is that possible?

Been using this plugin for my site. It has been very useful, however, I would like the checks to be stored. It says in the description that “* If you want to use cookies – check cookie option under plugin settings.” Where are the plugin settings (don’t see them in the dashboard) and how do I check the cookie option there.

Thanks for this awesome plugin, it really helped me out. I would like to request two things: 1) can you make it possible that the checklist gets stored in the browser, so when visitors come back the see their check marks? 2) I found a work around for this, but maybe it makes sense to change it -> when I post a link within the checklist and check the item the green layer covers the link and I cannot click the link anymore. Thanks again for this awesome plugin!
