Biggest opportunity: “admin bar”, “admin notices” and “dashboard widgets” 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.

How it's measured →3.6%
of downloads still active
At least 30 of 838 lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,188 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities 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.

it is an easy straight forward plugin that just do exactly what I want without any ads or bother. If anyone would like us to add any more simple minimal features, please let us know and we will work on adding it, the goal is to use one plugin that covers all the basic needs for clients or yourself without the need of multiple plugins with ads and notices.
