Biggest opportunity: “debug”, “debug bar” and “debugging” 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| debug your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| debug bar your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| debugging your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| dev studio your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| development your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Directory rank
Ranked about #50,200 to #69,500, alongside the other plugins with fewer than 10 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
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
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.

A very cool plugin that allows simple debugging my apps in a browser ( like symfony with debug component), I’ll be using it on all my projects. Thx 🙂

I can get any information about current dev environment just from one place, the plugin saves many time on debugging. Thank you for it!

Hey there! Thanks for good job! I put the top five, because this plugin has simplified my life and saved a lot of time to parse queries into the database and optimize them. The hook description system is also simply wonderful – instead of having to shovel a bunch of documentation for finding the right hook, I just look at its order in the table!
