Biggest opportunity: “actions”, “debug bar” and “debug bar actions display” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 400 of 142.7K 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.
High removal-risk signals
65/100Maintenance 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 4+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Reviews souring. Recent reviews read meaningfully worse than older ones, an early sign of decline.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 6.0.18.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| actions your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| debug bar your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| debug bar actions display your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| debug bar filters display your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| filters your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Fantastic plugin, just what I needed to see what actions and filters to hook! And in what order/sequence they were being fired. Works with WordPress 5.7.2 which is the version I am using.
