Biggest opportunity: “compress images”, “convert webp” and “image optimizer” 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 50 of 6.8K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Performance plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,103 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Performance 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

45/100

Maintenance 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.

Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.

The public count shows “50+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.

tracked estimate
50–60 ≈60

Crossed into this band 10 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 60.

Reviewer account pattern

from wp.org reviewer profiles

22 of the last 30 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review.

Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.
