of downloads still active
At least 1K of 61.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 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 2 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.

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.

What to do about it
- Your five tags are all earning their place. Each gets you onto page 1 of its own search, so none is worth giving up. “random quotes”, “tip” and “bestwebsoft” (#5, #8 and #11 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
Occasionally updatedHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

For such a simple plugin, it took me too long minutes to realise that it doesn’t work as expected. The customisation doesn’t allow transparent background. It displays both quote and tips at the same place!!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ evolute22.8y ago
A very effective plugin for including over 700 quotes on my site.A responsive team that listens to my difficulty in integrating it properly. THANKS.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ zorvek3.1y ago
The random order with and without page reload make this a unique and attractive feature of any website. The biggest problem is that the quotes and tips are shown in the same box. I can’t figure out who would want their quotes to be displayed in the same box as tips. It makes no sense. There are really two separate functions here: Quotes and Tips. The second problem is that there is no way to assign a category to each quote or tip, and to cycle through those quotes or tips belonging to a specific category. I need to show one set of quotes on one page and another set of quotes on another page.

This plugin is exactly what I needed–a randomly selected quote from my repository displayed in my sidebar. I was having trouble getting the daily quote to change and it turns out WPEngine has “Allow ORDER BY RAND” disabled by default in Site Settings. After enabling that, it worked great. The support team went above and beyond to help me troubleshoot the issue. Highly recommended!

It’s not the fanciest, but it works if you want something that’s fast, easy & looks good.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ MIL9.7y ago
Good plugin, but would like to have: 1. The ability to select the display or just advice, or just quotes, or both together. 2. The ability to configure the parameters of font plug-in installation is now killed CSS themes.

A fantastic plugin, works as it should. A brilliant way to add a little “flavour” to your pages.
