Biggest opportunity: “easy”, “enable” and “links” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 1K of 24.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,769 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| eazy your tag | #4 | #4 | 0 |
| blogroll your tag | #7 | #5 | down 1 |
| easy your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| enable your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| links your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “easy”, “enable” and “links” 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.

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
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Thank you for this! For a while, I tried to insert a small advertising banner into the sidebar using “custom HTML”. Saving was impossible due to an invalid JSON response. # Now comes the trick: Use the “Links”-widget, beforehand create a “Links”-category such as “Advertising” and 1 contact with URL to the banner image file. Save and the banner will appear in the sidebar. Example page: https://duba.blog. Thank You again for this Plugin! This topic was modified 4 years, 4 months ago by Günter Duba.
