Biggest opportunity: Swap “mobile”, “mobile internet” and “mobile web” for “add to homescreen”, “homescreen” and “emulator”. “mobile” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “add to homescreen” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “mobile internet” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “homescreen” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “mobile web” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “emulator” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 10 of 15.7K lifetime downloads are still running, below 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.3.27, well behind 6.8.

What to do about it

Directory rank
Ranked about #30,400 to #44,800, alongside the other plugins at 10+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 1 Nov 2026.
Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

PWAs are the future of WordPress and mobile apps. If this can deliver an app that works for desktop and mobile, on all browsers, with an AMP-first design and full PWA functions (offline, user management etc) it can become a very popular plugin.
