Biggest opportunity: Swap “disable admin bar” and “hide admin bar” for “admin toolbar” and “hide admin notifications”. “disable admin bar” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “admin toolbar” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “hide admin bar” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #19. “hide admin notifications” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →0.9%
of downloads still active
At least 90 of 9.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,191 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.
