Biggest opportunity: “css”, “javascript” and “post” 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 90 of 8.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 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 14+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.4.2, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| css your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| javascript your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| post your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| script your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| stylesheet your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Directory rank
Ranked about #16,800 to #17,400, alongside the other plugins at 90+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 1 Nov 2026.
Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
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
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

It’s still working on my website and at customers websites. As well for CSS as for Javascripts. Never experienced any trouble.

The best one I have every found! I hope that the Author keeps up the good work.

This was the third wordpress plugin I tried that purported to be able to install javascript on a per post basis. This one worked, the other 2 didn’t. To be able to install javascript on a per post basis is a very nice feature. In my case I’m using a very largish javascript charting library. I don’t wanna load this library except on posts where I’m using charts.

I’m using this plugin for a while but for a very limited number of posts. It fits exactly my need, runs smoothly and supported finely every WP update so far!
