Biggest opportunity: “core web vitals”, “crash reporting” and “error monitoring” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 10 of 14.9K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Login & Users plugin keeps 0.7%, across 1,476 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Login & Users plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

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.

I’ve only been using Raygun for a short while now, and I had no idea there was a WordPress plugin for it until recently. I was really impressed at just how quick and easy it was to get set up tracking bugs on the many blog sites I have to maintain. The plugin takes about 30 seconds to set up, once it’s up and running it sheds some light on the eye-brow-raisingly high number of errors in free plugins. Which is a good thing… and probably a bad thing…
