Biggest opportunity: Swap “statistics”, “woocommerce” and “counter” for “milestones”, “number” and “blog stats”. “statistics” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “milestones” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “number” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “counter” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “blog stats” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →5.9%
of downloads still active
At least 3K of 50.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Analytics plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,007 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Analytics 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 11 releases 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “statistics”, “woocommerce” and “counter” for “milestones”, “number” and “blog stats”. “statistics” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “milestones” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “number” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “counter” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “blog stats” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “counter”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Adds some zip to what can be an otherwise boring number display when you don’t want it linked to anything and just need to show some numbers in a counter.

My experience of using this plugin is fantastic. It would be much better if this plugin supports decimal number. Thank you.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Fantou2.5y ago
I’m using this plugin since a couple of days and it works perfectly ! EVen in free version, there is already a lot of options. And “cherry on the cake” : I asked for a new option in the plugin and the suppport added it just after ! What else ? 😉 Thanks for your great plugin and your kindness ! 🙂

I tried some others that were actually short-code based, not true Gutenberg blocks. This one is, and is amazingly simple and intuitive to use. I love it that bblock free blocks are so lightweight and don’t commit you to a whole collection that you don’t actually need.
