Biggest opportunity: Swap “analytics” and “heatmaps” for “cro” and “session replay”. “analytics” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “cro” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “heatmaps” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “session replay” 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 →4.7%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 21.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Analytics plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,006 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Analytics 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “analytics” and “heatmaps” for “cro” and “session replay”. “analytics” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “cro” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “heatmaps” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “session replay” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

In the enormeous WordPress plugin repository available today, there are several plugins that provide website optimisation insights and truly stand out. The plugin itself is straightforward, it inserts the tracking code into WordPress. It is worthwhile to activate this pugin, insert the Plerdy code and wait a day or two. The Plerdy panel discloses website data and provides practical insights about improvement possibilities. In this case I want to recommend Plerdy for website optimization insights – and it’s all thanks to the outstanding company behind it. Their punchline is ‘Track, analyze, and convert your visitors into buyers’, and that is exactly what they do. Their blend of deep technical SEO expertise with top-notch online marketing strategies is a game-changer for any online marketing professional. It’s evident that they don’t just understand the coding and big data of website optimization, but also the broader picture of what online businesses need to truly thrive in this digital age. Special mention must be made of Andrew, i assume Plerdy’s founder. Not only does he possess knowledge of what entrepreneurs and their representatives need, but his friendly demeanor and genuine desire to assist set him apart. For marketing agencies looking for more than just a service provider, Plerdy is a true partner. From a seasoned online marketing professional’s perspective, this plugin and the remarkable team behind it receive a glowing endorsement. This topic was modified 2 years, 9 months ago by imeco.
