of downloads still active
At least 1K of 75.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,778 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| animated skillbar your tag | #2 | #1 | up 1 |
| skill bar your tag | #7 | #6 | down 1 |
| bootstrap progress bar | #4 | #5 | — |
| circular skill bar | #4 | #3 | 0 |

What to do about it
- One page off on “percentage bar”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “progress bar” isn't earning a slot. You list it, but you're not in the first 24 results for that search. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

Doesn’t work. WP 6.0.1, basic bootstrap theme. The best way to make sure I never buy anything from you is to spend all your efforts trying to get me to buy your product and absolutely no effort ensuring the product works.
