Biggest opportunity: “accessibility” isn't earning a slot. You list it, but you're not in the first 24 results for that search. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 400 of 15K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| talk | #1 | #13 | up 1 |
| hand talk your tag | #1 | #11 | 0 |
| libras your tag | #1 | #4 | 0 |
| surdos your tag | #1 | #2 | 0 |
| acessibilidade your tag | #2 | #4 | 0 |
| talk to us | #3 | #21 | 0 |
| accessibility your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
18 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 6 listed. 12 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “accessibility” isn't earning a slot. You list it, but you're not in the first 24 results for that search. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.
- Already on top for “talk”. #1 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

Gostei da ferramenta. Só deixo uma sugestão. No campo de integração é pedido que seja inserido apenas o Token do app e no site é gerada uma tag javascript. Um usuário leigo poderia enfrentar dificuldade nessa etapa. Minha sugestão é pedir para o usuário colar o código todo no campo de integração do plugin (e não ter de pinçar o token de dentro do snippet).
