Biggest opportunity: “bounce”, “exit” and “exit intent” 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 10 of 22.5K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,764 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 5.0.0, well behind 6.8.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| bounce your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| exit your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| exit popup your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| exit intent your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Directory rank
Ranked about #30,100 to #45,000, alongside the other plugins at 10+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.
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
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.

The plugin requires you to sign up for payment before you can use any part of it. The plugin advertises it’s open source nature, yet the only part of it which is open source is the small client-side component of the system they use to make you pay to use the plugin. Code relevant to advertised functionality is not included at all.

This was easy to set up and a great addition to my site.

These kind of extensions should be banned from the WP directory unless they clearly state what their business model is on the extension page : a) it collects your email to get an “API key” b) it runs a 14 days trial, or you only get the free (extremely limited) version of it. The payed plans are totally overpriced. I hate when Devs try to hide their agenda. Be bold about your business model, don’t try to hide it.

The overlay was very easy to configure and with optin emails sent right from my gmail, it’s super powerful.
