Biggest opportunity: “admin”, “custom” and “customize” 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.

How it's measured →4.6%
of downloads still active
At least 3K of 64.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,190 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.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| admin your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| custom your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| customize your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| login your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| logo your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Release cadence

I’ve been looking for a simple login customization plugin like this one. The others I have used add so much bloated styling initially, it takes quite a while to go through settings and remove it all. Not this one. Simple and to the point.
