Biggest opportunity: Swap “navigation” for “customise”. “navigation” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “customise” sits at #4 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 300K of 13.1M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,187 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 20 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.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “navigation” for “customise”. “navigation” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “customise” sits at #4 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 “navigation”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

This well-built plugin let me quickly set up a desktop mega menu, but I needed help getting it to look good on mobile because of my (older) theme. I upgraded to Pro for priority support and they were super responsive and walked me through it all — even writing custom CSS to make the mobile menu look great in my theme. Highly recommend!

I could not get a third level menu using the standard WordPress menu (with Oxygen 6.0). Mega Menu solved the problem and gave me nicer formats.
