Biggest opportunity: Swap “currencies” for “currency rates”. “currencies” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “currency rates” sits at #24 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 600 of 21.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,766 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized 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.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence

Buen plugin, funcionando perfectamente a día de hoy. Permite además de una manera muy sencilla elegir las monedas que quieres mostrar la conversión de divisa desde otra moneda Principal.

The best currency exchange rates plugin (I tried 5 of them). But I need more customisation like green color (class) for increasing rate and red color for decreasing one.
