Biggest opportunity: Add “health” to your wp.org tags. You rank #19 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 1 listed it's a slot worth spending.

of downloads still active

At least 200K of 5.4M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,764 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
health check your tag	#9	#11	down 1
health	#19	#17	up 1

9 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 5 listed. 4 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

What to do about it

Add “health” to your wp.org tags. You rank #19 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 1 listed it's a slot worth spending.

I can’t believe anyone gave this plugin 5 stars. Troubleshooting mode will break your site. It disables ALL plugins and it says that this will only affect you and NOT your other site visitors but that is FALSE. When you disable troubleshooting mode all plugins remain inactive! There is NO WAY to revert or cancel this. Once you enter troubleshooting mode you are screwed. My entire site was broken and I had to scramble to reactive plugins one by one.
