Biggest opportunity: Add “bug report”, “client reports” and “currently” to your wp.org tags. You rank #5, #9 and #14 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

3.1%

of downloads still active

At least 1K of 32.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,191 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities 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 3 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.

    This is an absolutely great, a must have plugin for anyone who’s websites are running with bunch of plugins. It gives you an easy and comfort overview of your plugins compatibility state Vs latest WordPress version so you can easily track stats at one place not having to hassle with checking plugins compatibility one by one. Besides, I’ve got reply to my support tickets from the plugin support/author within minutes which is extremely rare to be seen these days. A thousand thanks to the Author of the plugin.
