Biggest opportunity: Swap “admin interface” for “tweaks”. “admin interface” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “tweaks” 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 800 of 43.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Login & Users plugin keeps 0.7%, across 1,477 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Login & Users 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| tweaks | #24 | #19 | down 4 |
| admin interface your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| customize your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| login your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| maintenance mode your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Release cadence

I was having a problem with WP posts list page – the title column would crunch down to just a few characters wide when using an SEO plugin which added columns. I posted on the SEO Framework support site then, minutes later, just happened to try Admin Tweaks. One of the many tweaks is one to adjust the Post page Title column width using pixels or percent. There are too many other tweaks to mention them. Some may seem trivial, such as adjusting the color for different stages of posts that I find useful. Admin Tweaks rolls up many individual plugins and scripts into just one. I have yet to use it much so I can’t judge if there are bugs or performance hits.
