Biggest opportunity: Swap “backup” and “migrate” for “dave” and “site migrator”. “backup” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “dave” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “migrate” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “site migrator” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →10%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 993 lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Backup plugin keeps 1.6%, across 287 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Backup plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

Directory rank
Ranked about #13,300 to #16,400, alongside the other plugins at 100+ 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 1 Nov 2026.
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.
Estimated active installs
The public count shows “100+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 2 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 100.
