Biggest opportunity: Swap “cloud” and “conditions” for “openweathermap” and “destination”. “cloud” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “openweathermap” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “conditions” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “destination” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 300 of 12.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,189 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.
This plugin shipped 1 release 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| temperature your tag | #5 | #8 | down 1 |
| weather widget | #12 | #15 | down 1 |
| weather your tag | #15 | #18 | 0 |
| destination | #24 | #23 | down 1 |

13 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 7 listed. 6 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
- Swap “cloud” and “conditions” for “openweathermap” and “destination”. “cloud” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “openweathermap” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “conditions” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “destination” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “weather”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Al fin encontré un plugin que muestre el clima sin tanta basura. Sin anuncios, sin logos y sin nada que interfiera con mi SITE. RECOMENDADO!!! Lo único que necesita es registrase (sin este registro no se puede) en el sitio https://openweathermap.org y ahí se genera un KEY. Luego busqué en Google las coordenadas de mi ciudad en Logintud y Latitud y las copié. Cuando se ingresa a la configuración del Widget pregunta el nombre que quiero para mostrar en el frontend, se deben ingresar los datos de la longitud, latitud y clave y listo!. Probé con más de 5 diferentes y todos tiraban publicidad, basura o no funcionaron. La única limitación que tiene es que no muestra el pronóstico del clima de otros días excepto el día de hoy. At last I found a plugin that shows the weather without garbage. No ads, no logos and nothing that interferes with my SITE. RECOMMENDED!!! All that is needed is to register (without this registration you cannot walk from point A to B) on the site https://openweathermap.org and there a KEY is generated. Then I searched in Google for the coordinates of my city in Logintude and Latitude and copied them. When you enter the Widget configuration, ask the name you want to show in the frontend, you must enter the longitude, latitude and KEY data and that’s it! I tried with more than 5 different widgets and all they threw advertising, trash or did not work. The only limitation it has is that it does not show the weather forecast of other days except today.
