Biggest opportunity: Swap “cleanup” for “postmeta”. “cleanup” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “postmeta” sits at #23 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 →7.6%
of downloads still active
At least 30 of 394 lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Performance plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,103 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Performance 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.

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.

Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.

The public count shows “30+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 20 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 30.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Andrzej Klasén3mo ago
I was a bit unsure so I asked Claude AI!Things worth noting: New and small plugin. Under 10 active installations, last updated three weeks ago, no reviews yet. That doesn’t mean it’s dangerous, but it hasn’t had time to catch many eyes in practical operation. The developer “WPExtent” has a wordpress.org profile, which is a good sign – plugins on wordpress.org are reviewed upon submission and the code is open in the SVN repo for anyone to inspect.The code I reviewed is consistent with what I’ve already said: sanitized input, nonce/capability checks, no external calls, safe handling of OPTIMIZE TABLE. Considering it’s from the official directory, I’d say it’s safe to install, with the same standard precautions as with any new/small plugin: Take a database backup before using the cleanup buttons (deletions of orphaned data, spam comments, etc. cannot be undone). Feel free to test on one of your less critical sites before running it on your main domain. In conclusion: yes, I would dare to install it.
