Biggest opportunity: Swap “admin”, “dashboard” and “server” for “php”, “islam” and “current”. “admin” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “php” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “dashboard” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “islam” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “server” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “current” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →12%
of downloads still active
At least 6K of 50.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above 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.

What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.
Estimated active installs

Crossed into this band 5 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 6K.
At the current install trend, crossing 7K+ in roughly 805 days.
