Biggest opportunity: Swap “active directory” and “ldap” for “organizational chart” and “org chart”. “active directory” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “organizational chart” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “ldap” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “org chart” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →0.2%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 45.2K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 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.

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
- Swap “active directory” and “ldap” for “organizational chart” and “org chart”. “active directory” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “organizational chart” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “ldap” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “org chart” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “active directory”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
