Biggest opportunity: “backend”, “dashboard” and “onesignal” 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 300 of 14.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,189 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.
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 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.2.30, well behind 6.8.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| backend your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| dashboard your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| onesignal your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| web push notifications your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Doesn’t work anymore. When you try to send a notification, it turns, and nothing happens. No update in three years and OneSignal changed a LOT of things in their system. So this app can’t work without a bug fix. And as it seems dead…

It is an excellent plugin. Simple and useful. It should have many more downloads. It allows you to schedule notifications of old posts on your blog, which new visitors have never seen. It’s a very good idea. It can also be used to send notifications of new posts at the most appropriate time, different from the post publication time.

I have installed OnSignal Push Notification. It works perfectly and I can send messages through OneSignal. To have more ease on shipments, so I installed OneSignal Sender but, it remains blocked by asking me to install OneSignal Push Notification, but, it’s done! And the message: “I’m going to help you” at the bottom of the screen does not seem to serve: I’m still waiting for the answer.
