Biggest opportunity: Swap “admin menu” for “dashboard admin”. “admin menu” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “dashboard admin” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 100 of 2.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “admin menu” for “dashboard admin”. “admin menu” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “dashboard admin” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “admin theme”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “dark mode”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “dark theme”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
