of downloads still active
At least 90K of 1.1M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median SEO plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,198 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| table of contents your tag | #16 | #11 | down 7 |
| generated table of contents | #8 | #5 | — |
| toc your tag | #24 | #7 | down 1 |
| auto table of contents | #13 | #8 | up 1 |
| shortcode table of contents | #15 | #13 | up 2 |
| toc shortcode | #17 | #9 | down 1 |
| post toc | #24 | #8 | 0 |
| links your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| navigation your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| seo your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
21 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 7 listed. 14 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Slipping on “table of contents”. Down 7 places since 2026-08-06, now #16. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- Under-ranked on “toc”. wp.org puts you #24; on merit you place #7. The plugins above you are winning on install count, not on rating or upkeep.
- “links”, “navigation” and “seo” 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.

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.
