Biggest opportunity: Add “decks” and “quizzes” to your wp.org tags. You rank #6 and #11 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.
Install conversion
How it's measured →0.1%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 71.1K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,785 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 10 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| flashcards your tag | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| labeled diagrams your tag | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| flashcard | #2 | #2 | 0 |
| decks | #6 | #6 | down 1 |

46 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 9 listed. 37 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Add “decks” and “quizzes” to your wp.org tags. You rank #6 and #11 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.
- One page off on “interactive quiz”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

I love this plugin – where have you been all my life? It’s really powerful, and very easy to create flash cards and other study aids. I really like how the shortcode is super easy to follow so I can quickly type out, or script, my question/answer sets. It’s a breath of fresh air compared to the other educational plugins out there. Can’t believe it’s free!!
