Biggest opportunity: “parallax”, “parallax image” and “responsive” 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.

How it's measured →0.3%
of downloads still active
At least 200 of 76.7K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,787 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 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.1.28, 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 |

| parallax image your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| responsive your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

i had tried different parallax background plugins, but couldn’t find one that worked flawlessly. Took some tries to figure out how to get the full width banner working discussed in the support forum, but now its working perfectly.

I had been for a while looking for a plugin like this. It’s does just what i needed. You can make images and elements move at different time than backgrounds or whith scroll. If you don’t know anything about javascript, this plugin is just perfect! Wonderful! Congrats!
