Biggest opportunity: Swap “ai powered” and “pdf” for “tagged” and “ua”. “ai powered” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “tagged” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “pdf” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “ua” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 4K of 19.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,188 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities 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 “ai powered” and “pdf” for “tagged” and “ua”. “ai powered” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “tagged” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “pdf” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “ua” sits at #5 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 “accessibility widget”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

so i have been on the chase to comply with digital accessibility guidelines such as WCAG 2.1 and ADA compliance, and after some research i have found Equalweb, I have been using it for couple of months already, now with the plugin i find it easier to install. never had issues, can only recommend.

Equalweb has been a great plugin for my website! I was really worried as I know there are new laws about accessibility on websites and making sure your website is available to all. I wanted to make sure anyone can access, read and enjoy my website as well as the services I offer. I was a bit worried about the installation because I don’t have any computer skills but the set up was really quick and not too complicated and anyone can do it. I think it’s really important for everyone to instal this. And it feels really good to include absolutely everyone on the web.
