Biggest opportunity: “active”, “multi network” and “multisite” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 100 of 27.2K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,767 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.35, well behind 6.8.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| active your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| multi network your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| multisite your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| network active your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

I was hesitant to give this a try given it’s been so long since it was last updated, but it works very well and allowed me to quickly clean up my plugins list.

This plugin fills a sizable gap in multisite/network install administration. Multi-networks are relatively unknown and this plugin handles them swimmingly.

really useful to clean huge networks, with a lot of unused plugins.

It shows me exactly what I need. I used this to replace another plugin that was delivering incomplete lists. Now I want to find something just like this for themes…

I wish you could export the results, but other than that, it’s great! It helps me keep track of plugins that I am using, and NOT using on my multisite install.

Seems to do exactly what it says on 4.6.1.

When this is written (sep/16) this plugin has not been updated in over a year. It simply does what it says it does and works on my install.

I installed and activated this plugin on my WordPress 4.4.4 site and it does not appear anywhere in my admin menu. There are 2 other people in the Support section of this plugin’s page on WordPress.org with the same problem and nobody has received a response from the developer. Not recommended.
