Biggest opportunity: Swap “bitcoin” and “live prices” for “price widget” and “rendering”. “bitcoin” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “price widget” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “live prices” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “rendering” sits at #23 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 200 of 19.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,189 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities 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 12 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 “bitcoin” and “live prices” for “price widget” and “rendering”. “bitcoin” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “price widget” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “live prices” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “rendering” sits at #23 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 “live prices”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Большое спасибо разработчикам этого плагина. Плагин очень удобен в использовании и при установке на сайт. Приятный дизайн, есть много хороших настроек, что меня очень порадовало! Можно подобрать цвет и форму в зависимости от стиля сайта. Легко установить в любое место на сайте. Скрипт чистый, без багов. Плагин работает без сбоев. Тестирую его на своем сайте уже долгое время, ни разу не слетал. Широкий выбор валютных единиц, это очень круто. Можно воспользоваться любыми единицами криптовалют или фиата, опять же в зависимости от нужд вашего сайта! Всем рекомендую данный плагин. Пользуйтесь, не пожалеете )) Еще раз спасибо ! )

Between 5 popular cryprocurencies widgets this was the best. But it simply disappears from the page or shows URL to cryptocurrency site instead of widget. Opened topic with question, but nobody back to me

Easy to use. I wanted to insert live cryptocurrency prices into my posts and it worked fine. It runs smoothly as a widget also.
