of downloads still active
At least 200 of 3.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Performance plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,104 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Performance 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| lazy load microsoft clarity your tag | #8 | #12 | 0 |
| speed up microsoft clarity your tag | #11 | #17 | 0 |

What to do about it
- One page off on “speed up microsoft clarity”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “clarity” and “microsoft clarity” 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.

Ce plugin fonctionne très bien avec le plugin de statistiques microsoft Microsoft Clarity. Il fait ce qui est prévu dans le descriptif pour ne pas allonger le temps de chargement des pages web. C’est parfait et complémentaire. Bravo
