Biggest opportunity: Swap “dashboard” for “profile fields”. “dashboard” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “profile fields” sits at #17 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 200 of 5.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,191 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| modify | #3 | #14 | 0 |
| disallow your tag | #12 | #17 | 0 |
| profile your tag | #23 | #22 | up 1 |
| profile fields | #17 | #21 | down 2 |
| profile remove | #11 | #20 | up 1 |
| remove fields | #24 | #22 | 0 |
| dashboard your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| disable your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

10 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 6 listed. 4 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “dashboard” for “profile fields”. “dashboard” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “profile fields” sits at #17 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 “disallow”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
