Biggest opportunity: “admin”, “developer” and “inspector” 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.

I installed DevSniper while working on a client site and it immediately saved me time. The Cmd/Ctrl + K command palette is fast and genuinely useful for jumping through wp-admin and finding things without digging through menus. The UI feels clean and “native” to WordPress, and favourites make repeat actions even quicker. The front-end Inspector is the real bonus: hover to highlight, click to inspect (tag/ID/classes), copy selectors, and quickly understand where an element is coming from. For troubleshooting and editing workflows this is exactly the kind of tool WordPress has been missing. No tracking, no external calls, and it only loads for logged-in admins — that’s a big plus.Highly recommended for agencies, freelancers, and anyone managing multiple WordPress sites.
