How it's measured →17%
of downloads still active
At least 50K of 288.5K 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.
This plugin shipped 6 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

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.

What to do about it
- Your five tags are all earning their place. Each gets you onto page 1 of its own search, so none is worth giving up. “error handler”, “snippets” and “source code” (#4, #4 and #4 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

I reached out to AzonPress for assistance in rearranging the default tab on custom product template and Sujoy kindly provided me with the link to FluentSnippet plugin. As a non-coder, this proved invaluable and as a bonus, very easy to navigate with basic instructions. Happy AzonPress user!!

Works really really great and efficient if you know what you are doing. I really like the approach this plugin takes. The logics management is also excellent, especially considering it’s free.
