Biggest opportunity: “google”, “robot” and “robots” 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 1K of 57.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Search plugin keeps 0.7%, across 646 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Search plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.35, well behind 6.8.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| google your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| robot your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| robots your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| robots.txt your tag | Not checked yet | ||
| search your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
5 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 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.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Thanks for making this plugin 🙂 It looks very useful. The description / presentation can be better, it’s still very vague. I’ve had to test it with google webmaster tools if everything was in order. I really like the remote integration of badbots.txt
