Biggest opportunity: Add “current month”, “current” and “check age” to your wp.org tags. You rank #9, #12 and #17 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 0 listed these are the slots worth spending.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| current | #12 | #22 | 0 |
| current month | #9 | #20 | 0 |
| age based | #16 | #17 | 0 |
| age check | #17 | #21 | down 2 |
| check age | #17 | #19 | down 2 |

What to do about it
- Add “current month”, “current” and “check age” to your wp.org tags. You rank #9, #12 and #17 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 0 listed these are the slots worth spending.

Directory rank
Ranked about #19,100 to #20,000, alongside the other plugins at 60+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.
Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Estimated active installs
The public count shows “60+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 13 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 70.
