How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
Occasionally updatedHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Sooo easy to set up and a great way to deal with heavy JS from advertising etc. Really simple but brilliant approach to defer until user input. Pagespeed Insights overall score went from 58/70 to 99/100 for mobile & desktop respectively without any other changes (appreciate these values fluctuate anyway but that’s a significant jump even +/- a few points on the final values).
