Biggest opportunity: Swap “asset manager”, “file manager” and “media folders” for “library folders”, “media library folder” and “sanitize”. “asset manager” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “library folders” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “file manager” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “media library folder” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “media folders” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “sanitize” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up.

How it's measured →4.2%
of downloads still active
At least 200 of 4.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,318 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Media plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
