How it's measured →4.6%
of downloads still active
At least 20 of 431 lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,262 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Media plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
Directory ranking optimization

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
What to do about it
- Add “purge” and “theme mod” to your wp.org tags. You already rank #14 and #18 for them without listing them. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so these are the slots worth spending.

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.
