Biggest opportunity: Add “mce” and “tiny mce” to your wp.org tags. You rank #6 and #6 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 100 of 8.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,764 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| mce | #6 | #20 | 0 |
| tiny mce | #6 | #13 | 0 |
| fontawesome integration your tag | #11 | #20 | — |
| tiny mce editor | #5 | #10 | down 1 |
| fa icon | #23 | #24 | down 1 |
| font awesome your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| fontawesome your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| fontawesome icons your tag | Not checked yet | ||
6 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 5 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Add “mce” and “tiny mce” to your wp.org tags. You rank #6 and #6 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.
- One page off on “fontawesome integration”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Clear instructions, right-sized option set. Looking up the class for each icon up on the fontawesome site could get cumbersome if you are using a lot of icons, but if you just need a few, this is a great, lightweight solution.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Denis Yanchevskiy9.7y ago
The plugin works great, but the average user will be difficult to deal with Font Awesome classes and CSS colors. It would be nice to add a selection of icons as in plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-font-awesome/ and color selection as in plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/dco-shortcodes-menu/. P.S. If you will properly prepare plugin for localization, I can help with translation to Russian language :).
