Biggest opportunity: “analytics” and “click” 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 6K of 269.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Analytics plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,011 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| crazy egg your tag | #2 | #5 | 0 |
| crazyegg your tag | #2 | #2 | down 1 |
| heat maps your tag | #6 | #5 | down 1 |
| heat | #8 | #4 | 0 |
| analytics your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| click your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
6 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 4 listed. 2 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Release cadence

Simple CrazyEgg integration plugin. I use this on a number of websites.

Somehow it slows down performance, and I don’t understand why or how that is, but otherwise it’s a great plugin. We ( https://maidsbytrade.com ) have it activated for a month or two at a time & then deactivate it, then re-activate it again when we want to re-study who’s following us.

Had trouble integrating the code and wordpress plugin. Called customer service numerous times to no avail. The customer service line is not answered and days later I still have not received a phone call back. They do get back to you via email eventually. The plugin and service works well. Get this for the product. The customer service is mediocre at best.
