Biggest opportunity: Swap “core web vitals” for “lcp inp cls”. “core web vitals” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “lcp inp cls” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
Not scored yet. Nobody has reviewed this plugin, so a grade would come from directory averages rather than from anything measured here.
Install conversion
How it's measured →1.5%
of downloads still active
At least 10 of 662 lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Performance plugin keeps 1.5%, across 1,103 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Performance plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
