Biggest opportunity: “our progress bar”, “progress bar” and “progress bar showcase” 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 10 of 1.6K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,771 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.

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.

The first indication this plugin wasn’t going to be very useful was the Live Demo link leads to a 404 page and the video is for a totally different product. The description says more that 26 features can be customized. But that is only true in a Pro version. However, there is no information how to obtain a pro version or how much a license might cost. The only things that can be customized is the name of a status bar and a percentage number. There are 30 available templates – all of which appear to be considerably outdated in design – and they are limited to 3 or 4 skills. You are not able to add any more skills than the template already has. The ‘How to Use’ section of the plugin is only 4 YouTube instruction videos for the Service Box plugin. Nothing here for the Progress Skill Bar. If you want to use a progress bar graphic to explain your skills or experience, this won’t help you. As someone who hires developers, a percentage of a skill is only subjective and ridiculously worthless. Without a definition of a 100% skill level, any stated percentage doesn’t show ability or experience. My question is, ‘How many years of experience do you have?’ so that it what a progress bar should indicate. I am unable to get these 45 minutes back that I used to download, test, and write a review. Please, if you’re going to post something available for download, make sure it is complete and works as described.
