Biggest opportunity: “color”, “font” and “reading” 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 →3.4%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 29.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,764 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 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.35, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| color your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| font your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| reading your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| size your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| vision. your tag | Not checked yet | ||
0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “color”, “font” and “reading” 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.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Будьте внимательны: даже при покупке премиум версии автор вставляет на ваш сайт ссылку на свой блог, пряча её в display none. В личной переписке мне ответил: чтобы была ссылка на сайт автора, у вас с этим проблемы?

Плагин очень выручил, спасибо Александр! Несмотря на то, что плагин конфликтнул немного с нашей WP темой разработчик помог с установкой! Рекомендую, если вас обязали соблюсти ГОСТ…

Думал что прокатит и демо версия, не прокатила. Купил премиум, и сразу всё ок. Не совсем понял зачем там шрифт брайля, но лишним не будет)

Насколько мне известно, плагины на этом сайте должны быть бесплатными и с открытым исходным кодом, а не триальными

В методе bind в comfortableReading.js пропишите $(‘img’).hide(); а в методе return, $(‘img’).show(); и картинки на сайте начнут пропадать и появляться по нажатии на соответствующие кнопки. Т.е. плагин станет соответствовать ГОСТу))). Автору спасибо за бесплатную премиум версию.
