Biggest opportunity: Swap “image” and “webp” for “uploading” and “upload”. “image” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “uploading” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “webp” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “upload” sits at #16 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 →9.8%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 102K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Performance plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,106 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Performance 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “image” and “webp” for “uploading” and “upload”. “image” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “uploading” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “webp” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “upload” sits at #16 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 “webp”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Works great!!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ ideasToCode2.0y ago
Dear All, Here are the brief updates we’ve made to our plugins: We have resolved all the security issues raised for the plugins, and they now eliminate all vulnerabilities. We have removed the notices that appeared during plugin installation—everything has been resolved. We have moved the plugin under “Settings,” removing unnecessary additions to the WordPress admin sidebar. We will continue to make frequent updates to address any issues in the future.Thank you for your support 🙂

The Enable SVG, WebP & ICO Upload plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in versions up to 1.0.4. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files on the affected site’s server which may make a potential remote code execution. More information on the threat intel on the Wordfence website.

The plugin does what it should. But as long as why it needs to take up space in the admin panel. Until this item will be moved to the Settings submenu, I will unfortunately leave a bad review here because I find it unnecessary to have it in admin menu.
