Biggest opportunity: “301”, “302” and “307” 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 1K of 33K 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.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 4+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 6.0.18.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 301 your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| 302 your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| 307 your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| forwarding your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| redirect your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

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

I moved an entire site to WordPress, and I’m using this plugin to redirect more than 3800 URLs… and it works great, with no apparent effect on site speed. Thank you so much! I don’t know what I would have done without it.

Only redirect and nothing more. Exactly what I was looking for. Recommend.

I say 5 STARS plus! We recently moved some of our WP sites from a Linux platform to a Windows IIS platform and the plug-in stopped working. We got an almost instant response from [email protected] when we asked for help. Karen was great and patient with me. They made a modification to the plug-in and now it works great on either platform. Highly recommended. -gw
