Biggest opportunity: Swap “developer”, “embed” and “javascript” for “deploy”, “routing” and “develop”. “developer” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “deploy” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “embed” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “routing” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “javascript” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “develop” sits at #21 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up.

How it's measured →3.6%
of downloads still active
At least 2K of 54.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,771 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 1 release 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| react your tag | #2 | #6 | up 7 |
| deploy | #12 | #19 | down 1 |
| routing | #17 | #22 | up 1 |
| develop | #21 | #24 | 0 |
| developer your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| embed your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| javascript your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| js your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
8 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 4 listed. 4 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “developer”, “embed” and “javascript” for “deploy”, “routing” and “develop”. “developer” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “deploy” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “embed” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “routing” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “javascript” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “develop” sits at #21 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up.

What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin · 82% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.
Estimated active installs
The public count shows “2K+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 44 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 3K.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ dontblink2.1y ago
Was able to get my installation to work with an app I previously developed; caveats however include the need to have the folder lowercase, a copy of build in the main app folder, and the inability to link the page directly (“Can’t add page” but upon reload and some tweaking around in my host’s file explorer it works somehow). Embed isn’t perfect but is functional: transparent input field is not as such, my text formatting is messed up in typescript, and any redirect breaks the site if there is any security on the recieving end (i.e. if you redirect to github); definitely would recommend in a pinch though, works as advertised. Unsure how one would do live development outside of hosting oneself; my host has an integrated file explorer that I was able to upload and tweak files in, but I digress.

I discovered this plugin when it was just a few months old – there were challenges in getting it to work initially, but it turned out to be issues with my understanding of how to set it up – now it is an integral part of my website.

Works exactly as intended and helps a lot in combining old sites with new technique. Would pay for it if all compability issues of the future (wordpress <-> react) would be resolved by this plugin.

This plugin was an absolute lifesaver for me. I had a React client project and almost did know nothing about WordPress. This plugin saved my ass.
