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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| attendance your tag | #15 | #20 | down 1 |
| hr attendance | #8 | #10 | down 1 |
| time attendance | #13 | #21 | down 1 |
| attendance management | #21 | #22 | down 1 |
| clock in your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| hr your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| leave management your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| time tracking your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
9 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 4 listed. 5 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- One page off on “attendance”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “clock in”, “hr” and “leave management” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

Directory rank
Ranked about #50,200 to #69,500, alongside the other plugins with fewer than 10 installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 1 Nov 2026.
Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence
Actively maintainedHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.
