Biggest opportunity: Add “post notes” to your wp.org tags. You rank #14 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed it's a slot worth spending.

How it's measured →6.4%
of downloads still active
At least 400 of 6.2K 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 4 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| memo your tag | #1 | #2 | 0 |
| notes your tag | #13 | #16 | down 2 |
| note your tag | #16 | #16 | down 2 |

| plugin notes | #21 | #22 | down 6 |
| dashboard your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

What to do about it
- Add “post notes” to your wp.org tags. You rank #14 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed it's a slot worth spending.
- One page off on “note”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “notes”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Thank you for creating and maintaining this useful plugin.

Nice little plugin to help you keep track of things – “to do” list, “why did I install this plugin?”, “don’t upgrade this plugin yet due to a conflict”, reminder note to a colleague to do X, etc. Recommended.

Having a note show only on the page that needs it is a brilliant thing. My only request would be to made the icon much larger and more obvious on active pages. Both for clients, and my own ADHD self. Even without that though, this plugin rates five stars.
