Biggest opportunity: One page off on “sportspress”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
Install conversion
How it's measured →0.4%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 26.2K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,784 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.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 4+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.9.20.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| sportspress your tag | #13 | #13 | 0 |
| live your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
6 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 5 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- One page off on “sportspress”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “live” isn't earning a slot. You list it, but you're not in the first 24 results for that search. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

It doesn’t have those feature mentioned in plugin cover image. You have to buy this plugin for commentary option. I loved to see this plugin on the first impression but got disappointed to see commentary option not there. So I have rated the plugin with three-stars.
