of downloads still active
At least 10 of 5.9K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median AI plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,011 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other AI plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| weather forecast your tag | #20 | #23 | down 4 |
| weather widget your tag | #24 | #23 | down 6 |
| weather your tag | #24 | #24 | — |
| weather block | #18 | #22 | down 1 |
| sidebar weather | #17 | #22 | — |
| ai your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| forecast your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
28 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 5 listed. 23 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
- Slipping on “weather widget”. Down 6 places since 2026-09-23, now #24. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- “ai” and “forecast” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.
