Biggest opportunity: “admin”, “domain” and “https” 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 100 of 18.2K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,194 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities 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

53/100

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 4+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.9.20.

    The plug in works well and it does what it claims without issues. The support is some of the best we have experienced. The few times we made recommendations for improvement, the author was very quick to address our suggestions. The support is great and the product works well. If you are looking for a product to manage domains/SSL and you need basically functionality that works this product is a great place to start. The author is committed to make improvements, and assist you if you run into any issues. Great work!

    Domain Check is an excellent tool for Domainers or those who mange multiple domains. It lets you search domain names, import and manage your domains and SSL Certificate expiration date information. A huge amount of thought and hours have goine into the development of this plugin. Highly Recommended.

    I have a lot of clients that we manage domains for and the GoDaddy notifications for expiring SSLs and Domains sometimes just get lumped in with all the other spam GoDaddy sends, and missed. It’s nice to have this tool to remind us automatically that our domains and SSLs are expiring without having to sift thru tons of automatic emails from our registrars for things that are important. With this plugin, the notifications come straight from our own website so there’s no missing them. This already saved a missed renewal notice for one of our client’s site’s SSLs in the first few days using it.

    I wondering if there was a plugin that would check my domain name status and this came up. Wasn’t sure because there weren’t very many downloads, but it works fine and seems like it does a lot for how simple it is. Even checks your ssl certs! Great job!
