Biggest opportunity: Add “font resizer” to your wp.org tags. You rank #15 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed it's a slot worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 700 of 13K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,771 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| font resizer | #15 | #7 | 0 |
| font size resizer | #12 | #8 | 0 |
| accessibility your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| font your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| resize your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| text your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Add “font resizer” to your wp.org tags. You rank #15 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed it's a slot worth spending.

Thank you for writing a simple, straighforward plugin!

Very, very, very, simple setup. It works even when fonts are set in px, unlike others. The options are minimal, but it’s free and straight forward.

At the start was not working but looking in the settings there is a field that if deleted or customized based on the theme, fixed the issue. The plugin works so well, the widget is so nice and not invasive. Perfect job, thanks! Very useful!

I love this plugin. Works great out of the box (with Avada theme). And the HTML/CSS code is extremely clean, which makes it easy to customize with just CSS. This topic was modified 4 years, 4 months ago by Sara Die Webmacherin.

Thank you! This plugin did help me out. 🙂 And when I reached out to the developer and asked if it was possible to add one functional enhancement, it was done right away on the same day.
