Biggest opportunity: “consent”, “cookies” and “gdpr” 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 →5.7%
of downloads still active
At least 400 of 7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Privacy & Consent plugin keeps 2.1%, across 503 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Privacy & Consent plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| dough | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| rgpd your tag | #17 | #18 | down 2 |
| consent your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| cookies your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| gdpr your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| policy your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
9 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 2 listed. 7 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 to do about it
- “consent”, “cookies” and “gdpr” 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 “dough”. #1 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet 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.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ mlaex3.0y ago
Très bon plugin de cookie, cependant si nous voulons être en accord avec l’ensemble de la RGPD, et du texte dans sa globalité, il manque quelques éléments important 1) Il manque l’ajout d’un bouton ” refuser tout ” qui doit être accessible et cliquable rapidement par l’utilisateur (tel que “complianz”). 2) On ne peut pas choisir la taille des titres des étapes, le réglage se fait essentiellement par du CSS. 3) La détection automatique des cookies sur l’installation WordPress sur lequel le plugin est installé, l’ajout à la main est plus précis, mais il y a des oublies.4) Le stockage du consentement des utilisateurs qui reste obligatoire si l’utilisateur demande la consultation5) WhiteLabel sur le plugin, pouvoir avoir la possibilité d’afficher ou non qui est le créateur du plugin (obligé de passer par du css également ici)J’espère avoir dans les prochaines mise à jour du plugin l’ensemble des éléments listés ci-dessus, et nous aurons un plugin made in FRANCE qui sera aux petits oignons. Merci pour votre travail !
