Biggest opportunity: Swap “condition”, “logic” and “rules” for “hide widgets”, “widget logic” and “custom widgets”. “condition” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “hide widgets” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “logic” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “widget logic” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “rules” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “custom widgets” sits at #20 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 10K of 1M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,191 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.
