Biggest opportunity: “sidebar”, “widget” and “widgets” 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 →0.6%
of downloads still active
At least 30 of 5K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,186 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 9+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.7.39, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| orbisius your tag | #9 | #5 | 0 |
| sidebar your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| widget your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| widgets your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| wp 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). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

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

This does what it says, but the SPAM advertising to the right of the navigation menu drop down is annoying and confusing to some.

Really don’t like the way that it adds links to hire the plugin author on every single post edit screen! I personally consider that spammy behaviour. Works well otherwise!

I was a bit reluctant to install this plugin, thinking I had enough options in WordPress and Woocommerce itself. Boy was I wrong! I really speeds up the work flow and is easy to use. It even works with the Woothemes Sensei plugin. Great job ( again 🙂 ) Slavi. Thanks for your work! Annie

I just have to use this plugin and miss having it on the sites I have yet to install it. Navigating between posts and pages becomes so much easier as one can easily jump from one page to another page or from one post to another post. It is highly recommended!

This is a must have for ANY wordpress site. A few pages or many pages, this plugin helps you change pages in a flash.
