Biggest opportunity: Swap “clients” and “features” for “content types” and “types”. “clients” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “content types” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “features” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “types” sits at #18 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 →2.7%
of downloads still active
At least 3K of 109.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,321 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Media 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 1 release 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| content types | #5 | #22 | 0 |

3 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 2 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “clients” and “features” for “content types” and “types”. “clients” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “content types” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “features” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “types” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Just a little shameless plug. CPO Content Types is a companion plugin for all our themes, and it’s what will let you manage the slider, feature blocks, portfolios, and so on. By having all this functionality in an external plugin, your content will be more portable and you can always keep it.
