Biggest opportunity: “clock” and “clock widget” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 1K of 118K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,187 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.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

This is not mobile friendly – and some browsers are beginning to migrate away from the use of flash in favor of HTML5

Be careful. The plugin makes require_once for functions.php. The client put install this plugin on the supported project and the site became broken. I have long tried to understand the reason and come to this problem. I have received fatal error like “Cannot redeclare custom_function() (previously declared in…”. I know that there should be a check for function_exists, but again, the site was not created by me and it is difficult to keep track of all errors. Hopefully this will help someone.
