Easy Google Fonts

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

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.

0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 79% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 19 months ago; the previous band took 2.3 years to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

   Unfortunatelty it does not work on version 6.4.3 (LTS). The advertised “Typography” section does not appear… After installation I cannot access any new options to add fonts.

   Totally new to wordpress and this plug in was super easy to use and allowed me to change fonts with no problem. The support also gave me CSS selector (I have NO knowledge of CSS…) to change the navigation font. Huge thank you!

   This plugin does one thing and it does that well: integrates Google Fonts into your WordPress site. A recent update did cause some issues on my site but the developer’s response to my query was super fast and after doing what he suggested my site is back to normal. Big fan of this plugin.
