Biggest opportunity: “random” and “testimonials” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.
Install conversion
How it's measured →4.4%
of downloads still active
At least 700 of 16K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,786 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 4 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.

Update activity
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.
Release cadence

A product is just as good as the support, and I promise that the support is brilliant!!

Good plugin, works out of the box and does what it claims. A welcome addition to the website’s functionality.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ MichelleJNorton2.9y ago
The shortcode block is broken in WordPress, but this is the only Gutenberg ready solution. It looks nice too. I wish it had a bulk uploader though. I can’t quite give it five stars as it uploads quotes as custom post type instead of it’s own table. If this is ever fixed I’ll update my review.

Great app to use. It is simple and works well. Also useful to rotate quotes automatically and where needed based on a selected category. Easy to implement and setup in pages and posts with Gutenberg editor.

Vielen Dank für das Plugin! Es bietet genau die Funktionen, die wir für unser Projekt benötigen. Eine Frage oder Anregung: Die Einbindung via Shortcode z.B. in der Top Bar wäre noch eine coole Funktion.
