Biggest opportunity: One page off on “attendance management”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

How it's measured →0.9%
of downloads still active
At least 80 of 8.5K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Analytics plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,007 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Analytics 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 2 releases 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| employee attendance | #3 | #3 | down 1 |
| workforce management | #2 | #3 | 0 |
| shift management your tag | #7 | #23 | 0 |
| attendance management your tag | #12 | #16 | up 1 |
| employee management your tag | #13 | #19 | down 1 |
| attendance | #12 | #17 | 0 |
| time attendance | #14 | #19 | down 1 |
| leave management your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| time tracking your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
27 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 7 listed. 20 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- One page off on “attendance management”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “employee management”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “leave management” and “time tracking” 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.
- Already on top for “employee attendance”. #3 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

Estimated active installs
The public count shows “80+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band today and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 90.
