Biggest opportunity: Swap “custom pages”, “custom templates” and “post templates” for “hide header”, “landing” and “landing pages”. “custom pages” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “hide header” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “custom templates” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “landing” sits at #22 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “post templates” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “landing pages” sits at #23 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
Install conversion
How it's measured →1.8%
of downloads still active
At least 200 of 11.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,785 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.
