Biggest opportunity: Swap “security” and “maintenance” for “current” and “tasks”. “security” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “current” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “maintenance” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #21. “tasks” sits at #9 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 →16%
of downloads still active
At least 3M of 18.8M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,188 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.
This plugin shipped 25 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it
- Swap “security” and “maintenance” for “current” and “tasks”. “security” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “current” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “maintenance” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #21. “tasks” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up.

Pretty useful for quick site checks and simple tasks. It feels easy to use, and saves me some time. Not perfect, but works well enough for daily use.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ urmirun6mo ago
Made basic site tasks easier for me. I liked how quick the options are to access. Works well overall, just a few parts could feel more clear.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ janice876mo ago
Has some handy tools for quick tasks. Works fine most of the time. But feels limited and not very flexible. Also had few small issues here and there. It’s ok, just needs more polish 👍
