Biggest opportunity: Swap “booking”, “reservation” and “sports” for “pickleball”, “tennis” and “courts”. “booking” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “pickleball” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “reservation” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “tennis” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “sports” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “courts” sits at #19 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Install conversion
How it's measured →4.3%
of downloads still active
At least 20 of 463 lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Booking & Events plugin keeps 0.8%, across 940 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Booking & Events plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

Directory rank
Ranked about #25,300 to #28,300, alongside the other plugins at 20+ 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 21 Oct 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.
Estimated active installs
The public count shows “20+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band yesterday and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 20.
