Biggest opportunity: Swap “divi” for “nice preloader”. “divi” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “nice preloader” sits at #7 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 1K of 25.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,765 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 5.2.30, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| nice preloader | #7 | #5 | 0 |
| divi your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| expand your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

| widgets your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it

I use most of the features on one site simply because Divi has not built these features into the core. Thank you for developing such a helpful plugin!

This plugin is amazing! It allowed me to eliminate 2 other plugins for the author box and related posts plus some CSS to hide the sidebar, from several of my sites. ElegantThemes is great, but so far they don’t seem to get that a lot of us still just use the regular post editor for posts. We don’t want to use a template and “build” a post every time. We like to “just write.” So a plugin like this is sorely needed to make our WP editor posts have the right features and functionality. So glad I found it!
