Biggest opportunity: “hamburger menu”, “menu” and “mobile menu” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.
Not scored yet. Nobody has reviewed this plugin, so a grade would come from directory averages rather than from anything measured here.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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 |

| hamburger menu your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| menu your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| mobile menu your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| off canvas menu your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

What to do about it
- “hamburger menu”, “menu” and “mobile menu” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.
- Already on top for “foldout menu”. #1 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.
