Biggest opportunity: Swap “bot detection”, “seo” and “visitor tracking” for “live traffic”, “serp preview” and “bot tracking”. “bot detection” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “live traffic” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “seo” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “serp preview” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “visitor tracking” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “bot tracking” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →3.0%
of downloads still active
At least 60 of 2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median SEO plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,193 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other SEO 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 14 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.

Crossed into this band yesterday and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 60.
At the current install trend, crossing 70+ in roughly 42 days.

I just installed and now I can see accurate traffic analytics data for my website.& The bot analytics are really powerful.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ hummelmose5mo ago
First of all. This is a very nice plugin for easy live analytics. But it needs some small improvements. The Top 10 Page performance should be a list not a graph, since its hard to read, and it would be nicer with a list where you have the top 10 below each other. I havent been able to get data in Live Activity and Live Map, allthough I have had 100+ visits and have 60+ live user all the time. The Last visited time on page performance does not use the time zone the site is using so it’s two hours of on my location.But all in all – This is a super fin release, and I’m looking forward to use it.
