Biggest opportunity: Swap “call” for “rtmp”. “call” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “rtmp” sits at #13 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 20 of 10.2K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,778 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.8.34, well behind 7.1.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| click2call your tag | #6 | #4 | 0 |
| rtmp | #13 | #10 | up 1 |
| call your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| call from website your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| callback your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| click to call your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
3 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 2 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it

Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence

It is a good free service/plugin, but you can only use in English or Russian. It would be great if you could add your own Voice Mail message and personalize the window for the final user in your own language. There are also things in the user panel only available in Russian. I don’t know how to put a form before the call.

It is convenient to receive calls with the help of this plugin. If operator is offline and answering machine is activated you may listen to voice mails. You may review calls stats. It is the best choose for online store. This topic was modified 9 years, 10 months ago by vanessa1lam.

Good plugin. I changed text on the button, chose button design appropriate to the website design, activated answering machine in settings and receive voice mails when operator is offline. I like that. Thanks!

It is very convenient plugin to use. You may change color, shape and position of the button and also edit text on the button. There is an opportunity to add welcome message in working hours, to activate answering machine and to receive voice mails in off hours. I like it!
