of downloads still active
At least 100K of 1.3M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,766 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.
This plugin shipped 3 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.

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.

What to do about it
- Your five tags are all earning their place. Each gets you onto page 1 of its own search, so none is worth giving up. “transport”, “expiry” and “ssl certificate” (#5, #6 and #6 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

With just a few clicks, I was able to set up HTTPS redirection quickly without manually editing any files. What I love the most is the automatic redirection feature that modifies the .htaccess file, ensuring that all pages are securely redirected to HTTPS without errors. The interface is simple, the setup is quick, and it works flawlessly. If you’re looking for an efficient way to enforce HTTPS on your website, this is definitely the best plugin to use! Huge thanks to the developers for creating such a useful tool!

Even if you use it for your personal blog, with no ads or sevices sold, and choose to use the free version, Aksimet wants you to enter your full creddit card information. This is ridicilous. Why would I register my credit card info if I choose the “no payment” option? Edit: Sorry, I thought I commented to “Aksimet” plugin. Your plugin is perfectly fine. You require no payments, thanks for the good plugin. “Easy HTTPS Redirection (SSL)” is a good plugin. This topic was modified 2 years, 11 months ago by uckunb. Reason: Wrong plugin comment, sorry

This plugin works perfectly! I knew I could force SSL by playing with the .htaccess file but I didn’t want to mess things up. This plugin does it all for me and works like a charm. Thanks!
