Biggest opportunity: Swap “change hover color” for “color customizer”. “change hover color” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “color customizer” sits at #22 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

At least 300 of 4.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,773 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| font color | #9 | #13 | 0 |
| change nav link color your tag | #12 | #16 | down 1 |
| change font colors your tag | #16 | #21 | down 1 |
| color customizer | #22 | #18 | down 1 |

| custom font colors your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

What to do about it
- Swap “change hover color” for “color customizer”. “change hover color” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “color customizer” sits at #22 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 “change font colors”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “change nav link color”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Works great, wish they had an easier way to create a link, other than that no complaints it is doing its job.

The plugin works perfectly as intended. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much, however we shouldn’t be required to provide a review just in order to remove your msg from our WP dashboard.

This plugin worked great allowing me to add more customization then the theme I am using without issues.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ gregl71.5y ago
I started using this after a PHP upgrade caused my theme’s heading and font colors to no longer work correctly. This does the job fairly well, although the continuously annoying message it installs to review the plugin makes me deduct a star.
