of downloads still active
At least 7K of 71.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,767 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| disk space your tag | #20 | #22 | down 7 |
| database size your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Slipping on “disk space”. Down 7 places since 2026-09-24, now #20. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- “database size” isn't earning a slot. You list it, but you're not in the first 24 results for that search. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

This plugin gives everything you need: Not the server Memory usage but the actual WordPress website’s memory usage, Database Size, Site files’ total size — among the important WP folders of importance — all size-wise. Very well thought-out plugin. I am installing this on all my WP stacks, because the actual stats matters and we needs to keep eagle’s eyes on those stats always if we are a true professional. Without knowing the stats its like your monitor screen is off and you are not up-to-date on whats going on – that’s terrible! Thanks for this awesome plugin. God bless tons.

This plugin works well. I would like more details, but as a guide it works well. Did I say it works well? It works well.

What a great little plugin!

Wanted to like this but… …it made my site’s admin pages almost inaccessible. I disabled all my plugins in an effort to isolate the problem and this ended up being the culprit. I guess this plugin digs deep into your server and causes problems as a result. This topic was modified 8 years ago by marty.

This plugin works very well, and give me information about disk space in my VPS server, without have to make login in server’s panel every single time. Really great plugin.

I am looking for simple plugin to display disk space used by WordPress and THIS IS PERFECT! Simple and clear. No setting. Widget on dashboard. Love it!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ saltykey10.1y ago
Just as the name suggests – simple! This is a great lightweight plugin if you want to keep tabs on the PHP version running on your server, the database size, size of your uploads folder, memory limit/usage, etc. This is something all webmasters need to be aware of.
