Biggest opportunity: “analytics”, “heatmaps” and “user behaviour” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 7K of 92.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Analytics plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,007 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Analytics plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
Removal-risk signals
45/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.

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.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| mouseflow your tag | #2 | #3 | 0 |
| analytics your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| heatmaps your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| user behaviour your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| ux your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Release cadence

It was super easy to install and use. mouseflow is showing session recordings, heatmaps and much more, and unlike other tools – offer a free plan too!

For smaller websites I use Mouseflow on the free plan, and get so much more insights into what UX improvements to do than simpler analytics tools. For commercial sites, the advanced analytics with heatmaps, funnels and session playback, are all needed and extremely valuable if you want to avoid the guesswork and risk when designing the site for efficiency and conversion rate.

Great tool to track and understand how my websites is working, and why visitors are not converting. Mouseflow records all visitors and allows me to replay full sessions. From the recorded data, I am able to build heatmaps, create conversion funnels and understand how I am able to improve my website.

I installed the plugin, thinking that it would be a great way for me to gain access into my reader’s blocks, friction points, and more… But then, when I checked my blog about 3-4 hours later, I noticed that ALL of the text was completely screwed up. Spacing was WAY off, margins were making it hard to read, and everything was WAY out of whack. I deactivated this plugin, and everything went back to normal. I will not be using this every again.
