of downloads still active
At least 400 of 5.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,778 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| repoint your tag | #7 | #5 | down 5 |
| external link your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| link your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| page your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| redirect your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
5 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 4 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Slipping on “repoint”. Down 5 places since 2026-09-19, now #7. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- “external link”, “link” and “page” 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.

I would only suggest to add the ability to open links in a new window (Target = “_blank”). Thanks

Great plugin updated and a valid alternative to abandoned plugin called “Page Links To”. I would only suggest to add the ability to open links in a new window (Target = “_blank”). Thanks

Thank you soooo much for this plugn. It works perfect. My theme has a Horizontal News Ticker that only scrolls post categories. I could not figure out how to use a post link to get the post title to scroll in the Ticker. When my wordpress plugin search kept sending me to a “link-to plugin that had not been updated I searched google and there it was, it works seamlessly. Thank you
