of downloads still active
At least 4K of 39.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Analytics plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,007 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Analytics 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
53/100Maintenance 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 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.8.19.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| metrika your tag | #23 | #10 | down 2 |
| yandex metrika | #23 | #10 | down 1 |
| analytics your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| google analytics your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| yandex metrica your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Under-ranked on “metrika”. wp.org puts you #23; on merit you place #10. The plugins above you are winning on install count, not on rating or upkeep.
- “analytics”, “google analytics” and “yandex metrica” 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.

Release cadence

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Yui5.6y ago
Very light plugin that will make editing theme parts unnecessary. * header.php * footer.php Safe! No possibility to break things, can be used by newbies. Suitable for anything. * counters, analytics code * site verification with <meta> tags * adding loading additional scripts and styles or using them inline. * much more.

The code for analytics needed to be displayed on all pages including pages created in Elementor Page Builder. This plugin helped solve this issue.

Great little plugin for adding tracking codes and other scripts to a website. I had one issue with it working which was caused by a caching issue and nothing to do with the plugin, but the author still responded to me very quickly after posting in the support forums.

Отличный плагин. Давно искал такой. Будет идеальный, если добавить опцию учитывать или нет залогиненого пользователя, и выбор какие роли учитывать, а какие нет.
