Plugin Toggle

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

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.

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.

7 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 2 listed. 5 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 5 months ago; the previous band took 16 months to cross, which places it about 66% of the way through.

   I found this looking for a way to toggle Query Monitor to only use when debugging speed issues, since Query Monitor is a best of a plugin, an you don’t want it running all the time, since it does cause significant Admin slowdown while using. Same of many other Admin or infrequent use plugins. You want them installed, ready for occasional use, but not in day to day operations. Other’s useful to know and toggle: Code Profiler, Black Bar, Anti-Malware Security and Brute-Force Firewall, Wider Admin Menu (sometimes overlaps some plugins not recognising this tweak), User Switching, Index WP MySWL for Speed, and many other occasional use plugins. Thank you for your service. Another great example of how WordPress’s vast community hive-mind experiences and solves. 👍 PS: Be even more amazing if you could make it work with the other very helpful “Plugin Groups”.

   Thank you for the amazing plugin, it is a great tool for developers! I’m really glad I found this plugin, it saves a lot of time, I usually go to the admin plugins page to activate or deactivate plugins, I do that all the time while developing but this plugin is a big helper. Thank you!

   This is very handy for toggling plugins on and off for diagnosis, or for solutions that require temporarily re configuring your plugin set. Good for trialing several plugins in the same genre, by setting them up, then switching them in or out of the setup. Nice big multi-column list of all the plugins, reduces the amount of scrolling to see them all. This is good, and getting better. Thank you

   I was in a situation where one plugin, when active, interfered with the back end update function of another plugin. My problem was it was easy to forget that I had deactivated the first plugin while working in the second plugin. Now I can quickly view the status of and reactivate any deactivated plugin.
