Biggest opportunity: “cloud”, “digitalocean” and “object” 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.

1.4%

of downloads still active

At least 400 of 27.8K 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.

High removal-risk signals

75/100

Maintenance 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.
Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.3.27, well behind 6.8.
Reviews souring. Recent reviews read meaningfully worse than older ones, an early sign of decline.

Search visibility

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
cloud your tag	Not in the top 24
digitalocean your tag	Not in the top 24
object your tag	Not in the top 24
spaces your tag	Not in the top 24
storage your tag	Not in the top 24

0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

What to do about it

“cloud”, “digitalocean” and “object” 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.

Crossed into this band 37 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 500.

I really was looking for a simple plugin to do this work, but the plugin is no longer working, and code issues are not allowing the integration with DO.

The plugin is admittedly broken if updated to the latest wordpress version, based on support discussion, but its listed as compatible. It makes DB changes that are irreversible without undoing them manually and then if you deleted your local copy to use the destination space, you don’t have anything to return too. So the plugin as is … will just delete everything in uploads and rewrite your urls to an empty space.

If it was possible to give a less than 1 rating I would happily do it. This plugin did not sync my media with DO spaces. What’s worse, all media links on my website now link to my DO spaces CDN even though they were not synced. As a result, all images on my website appear broken. I wrote to support and received no reply so I’m left with nothing else to do but restore a backup of my site. I’m more than disappointed.

keep uploading to the cdn even when deleted. Adding the old media files to the cdn will be nice. supporting js/css would be also nice! This topic was modified 6 years, 8 months ago by idocohen.

It works fine but causes problems for other plugins. It brakes links of other plugin files. I would like some information on how to properly configure for WordPress multisite. Thank you @keeross!
