Biggest opportunity: Swap “3d” for “cards”. “3d” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “cards” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

1.8%

of downloads still active

At least 300 of 16.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,770 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.

This plugin shipped 3 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

    Exactly what I was looking for, for linkable images with descriptions, simple, elegant and easy as pie set up. I also had a question and the reply was nearly immediate. Nice fellow too. “try it, you’ll like it”
