low volume, under 1,000 downloads a month
Biggest opportunity: “execution”, “file” and “limit” 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.
Install conversion
How it's measured →1.3%
of downloads still active
At least 300 of 23.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,786 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| execution your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| file your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| limit your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| size your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| upload your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

better than the others with many more installs!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ ahmedmusawir8.0y ago
After installation you can only input file size to increase but nothing available to increase the max execution time. Even though max execution time is in the name of the plugin. I’ve installed it in brand new install with no other plugin and that’s what I got. There is no chance that it was interfering with something else.
