Biggest opportunity: “audit”, “content” and “inventory” 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 70 of 17.1K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,769 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 5.2.30, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| audit your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| content your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| inventory your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| review your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin · 88% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.
Estimated active installs
The public count shows “70+”. 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 80.

This is a light-weight plugin that’s very approachable.. I’ve found people like using it. I could imagine more robust reporting features and other small polishes, but this plugin pretty much does exactly what it says and works great.

Tried this out on my site last week. You can use it to label your posts and pages, then filter them by a criteria. So for example to find: all posts that need rewriting; or all pages that are up-to-date. There are a few additional features, such as emailing you when it’s more than a year since a post was updated. On the whole, this is a nice and simple, sensible plugin to use, particularly on a website with a lot of content. This topic was modified 9 years, 1 month ago by Jason King.

We use WordPress as our content management system. One thing we needed from any CMS was the ability to flag outdated content and contact the author to review the content for updates. Oddly, this is almost non-existent with most web CMS solutions. This is working very well for us. Now if we can just get the authors to stop ignoring the emails and actually review and update their content. Thank you for this excellent plugin.

Content Audit is really excellent for helping manage documentation for something like a WordPress Plugin.

Great plugin with a few minor issues that doesn’t stop it being used and are more luxuries that necessities….but support is quite slow for what I consider quite important fixes after last 2 updates. Would love more support with this from the author
