Biggest opportunity: Swap “gallery”, “image gallery” and “photo gallery” for “artist”, “masonry gallery” and “wordpress gallery”. “gallery” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “artist” sits at #23 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “image gallery” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “masonry gallery” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “photo gallery” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “wordpress gallery” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →5.6%
of downloads still active
At least 3K of 54K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,324 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.
This plugin shipped 8 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.

The gallery plugin is good but why do you feel it necessary to shove your marketing in our faces? You include: A popup with ‘Upgrade your site with pro themes from $48’. A huge dashboard banner advertising your themes. A persistent overlay advert box in the bottom right ‘view premium templates’. Is that not a bit much?

This works great, is simple to use and even my client is confidant to manage the galleries on her own.
