Biggest opportunity: Swap “field level tracking” for “form abandonment”. “field level tracking” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “form abandonment” sits at #20 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 50 of 8.5K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Analytics plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,007 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Analytics plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “field level tracking” for “form abandonment”. “field level tracking” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “form abandonment” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “form abandonment tracking”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
