low volume, under 1,000 downloads a month
Biggest opportunity: “notifications”, “push” and “push notifications” 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.
Install conversion
How it's measured →0.7%
of downloads still active
At least 30 of 4.1K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,781 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 3 releases 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.

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.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Will Glover6.3y ago
I’ve been looking at a few push providers since COVID began earlier this year, and Pushnami is by far the best option out there. The ability to segment our new subscriber list by interest and time zone has helped inform our content strategy and we’ve gotten great feedback from our viewers so far. Pushnami creates options that any marketer would appreciate, and I’d recommend them to anybody looking for a new push platform.

There are a lot of push notification plugins. I tested a few and Pushnami is the best. I am able to capture subscribers, either through a one-step or two-step opt-in, and every time I publish a new post, it gets sent automatically to my subscribers. Their support team helped me set up something custom and no other push provider could really do what I wanted to do, but they could. Love that it’s free to get started with too.
