Biggest opportunity: Swap “love” and “horoscopes” for “daily horoscope” and “zodiac sign”. “love” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “daily horoscope” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “horoscopes” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #18. “zodiac sign” sits at #15 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 30 of 16.8K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,764 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.
Removal-risk signals
45/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| daily horoscope | #8 | #7 | 0 |
| horoscope your tag | #11 | #9 | 0 |
| zodiacs your tag | #15 | #13 | 0 |
| zodiac sign | #15 | #14 | down 2 |
| zodiac your tag | #18 | #15 | down 2 |
| horoscopes your tag | #18 | #14 | down 1 |
| daily horoscopes | #10 | #9 | 0 |

9 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “love” and “horoscopes” for “daily horoscope” and “zodiac sign”. “love” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “daily horoscope” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “horoscopes” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #18. “zodiac sign” sits at #15 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 “horoscope”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “zodiacs”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated active installs
