Biggest opportunity: “advanced”, “regenerate” and “thumbnail” 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.
Install conversion
How it's measured →1.9%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 52.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,783 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.
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 4.5.33, well behind 7.1.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| advanced your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| regenerate your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| thumbnail your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

I’ve tried everything they say to do and this plugin unfortunately just does not seem to work with 4.7.4.

Doesnt have 4.4.1 bulk generation support. But you can generate thumbnails one by one.

We had to change a few sizes and regenerate many images in a short time, excellent plugin. Will improve the notification to terminate the regeneration process of the thumbnails for the user log is reached as to distract. Thanks LOOR Lab Colombia

This one works with 4.0. SPREAD the word. You could show more specific messages during errors, but I can live with that.

I tried 3 different regeneration plugins, including 2 of the top downloaded and top rated plugins. Out of the three, this is the only one that successfully regenerated all of my images. On top of that, it successfully fixed all of the dead images that the other 2 plugins created when they failed to regenerate/resize specific images for unknown reasons. This plugin fixed the images on my site and did it the right way. THANK YOU!!!

This was the only regenerate thumbnail plugin I found that worked! Also love that you can be very specific and only do a range of images, however mine worked when I did all of them at once. Thank you!
