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 17+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 2.7, well behind 6.8.
Directory ranking optimization
How it's scored →How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.
Under-optimized
Most to gain: Update recency
To rank higher: Last updated 6460 days ago — ship an update; wp.org decays a listing's search weight after ~180 days.

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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| bleeding edge | #19 | #17 | 0 |
What to do about it
- Add “bleeding edge” to your wp.org tags. You already rank #19 for it without listing it. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so it's a slot worth spending.
