Biggest opportunity: “cdn”, “convert webp” and “image resizing” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 200 of 49.3K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median SEO plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,193 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other SEO 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| cloudimage | #1 | #1 | — |
| cdn your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| convert webp your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| image resizing your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| optimize images your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| seo your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
6 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 5 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “cdn”, “convert webp” and “image resizing” 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 “cloudimage”. #1 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

Despite having tried many different solutions for increasing loading speed of images on website, this by far is my favorite tool. Everything works quite well, the customer service are supporting as well.

Would recommend for my friends! I noticed a quicker page load time right away, and installation was simple and straightforward. Support Department responds swiftly and is also quite educational.

It is not about the problem, but about solving the problem (and how friendly you are-:) That is where the differnce is made! The key for succes in (online) businesses

Was searching for an image CDN. Tried but realized they are destroying SVG images in a weird way and most of the time images are not loading at all. After contacting support and trying to fix they told me it got fixed (how would they know) – but still no images and broken SVGs. Lets see, may try in future – at the momement i cannot recommend to anyone.
