Biggest opportunity: Add “page views” to your wp.org tags. You rank #17 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed it's a slot worth spending.

How it's measured →3.8%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 26.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,773 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.
This plugin shipped 1 release 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.

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 |

17 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 9 listed. 8 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Add “page views” to your wp.org tags. You rank #17 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed it's a slot worth spending.
- One page off on “jetpack”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Really simple and easy to use, right to the point! A simple code that shows the number of hits per post, just what I’ve been looking for.

Très satisfait, enfin ce que je cherchais ! On voit bien le nombre de vues sur une page d’article sur notre compte WordPress, simplement installé le code [jp_post_view]. Le nombre de vues commence dès le moment de la création. Donc, même si vous avez crée votre article il y a quelques mois, vous installez le code et vous voyez depuis le début le nombre de vue! Très recommandable!
