Biggest opportunity: Add “sub pages” and “sub” to your wp.org tags. You rank #6 and #9 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 400 of 13.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,192 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.

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
- Add “sub pages” and “sub” to your wp.org tags. You rank #6 and #9 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.
- One page off on “subpages”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
