Biggest opportunity: “automation” and “deployment” 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 200 of 7.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,765 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
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 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.5.24.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| netlify your tag | #18 | #10 | down 4 |
| automation your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| deployment your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

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.
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
The public count shows “200+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 46 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 300.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ josh.collinsworth6.4y ago
I’m transitioning to headless WordPress with a Gridsome front-end deployed on Netlify. This plugin works beautifully with almost no configuration (just get the build URL from Netlify and paste it in). The interface is nicely designed, and allows for custom tweaking on what actions trigger rebuilds. I pushed “publish” on a post and the rebuild kicked off without a hitch. This plugin’s all I hoped it would be.

Clean plugin that simply triggers a build webhook when changes are made to the site. Dev was also helpful when I had an issue.

I’ve been using this plugin on multiple installs. The Netlify deploys have descriptive titles and the UI within WordPress is very helpful. Further, the owner of this plugin was very supportive and communicative when I reached out with an inquiry. Overall highly recommend this plugin.
