of downloads still active
At least 100K of 1.7M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,771 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.
This plugin shipped 3 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.

What to do about it
- Your five tags are all earning their place. Each gets you onto page 1 of its own search, so none is worth giving up. “child theme” (#8 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

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.

works like it should with many individual options

I’ve been using the client reports for about a year now and our clients finally see some value in the support fees we charge. Oh and the support is great! This topic was modified 6 years, 5 months ago by kwebdesign.

Once I finished installation and setup and grab the subscription – I now email out monthly reports, just to show my clients how much work I do for them each week – which of course is much easier now that I use MainWP Dashboard with all my websites I manage.

It works just fine for me and helps me generate these MainWP reports which my clients really appreciate – and which help me bill my maintenance work. Clients usually don’t get that websites need updates – but when you can document the stuff you’re doing, they get the idea.
