Biggest opportunity: Swap “login form”, “membership form” and “registration form” for “register”, “invite” and “register form”. “login form” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “register” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “membership form” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “invite” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “registration form” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “register form” sits at #11 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 →0.2%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 616.1K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Login & Users plugin keeps 0.7%, across 1,476 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Login & Users plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 11 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.
