Biggest opportunity: Swap “custom login”, “custom register” and “dashboard” for “dismiss dashboard widget”, “frontend” and “frontend post”. “custom login” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “dismiss dashboard widget” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “custom register” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “frontend” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “dashboard” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “frontend post” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

0.3%

of downloads still active

At least 500 of 156K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,189 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities 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 24 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.

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.

100 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 74 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

What to do about it

Swap “custom login”, “custom register” and “dashboard” for “dismiss dashboard widget”, “frontend” and “frontend post”. “custom login” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “dismiss dashboard widget” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “custom register” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “frontend” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “dashboard” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “frontend post” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up.
