Biggest opportunity: “dashboard widget” isn't earning a slot. You list it, but you're not in the first 24 results for that search. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →9.7%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 10.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,193 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| sitehealth your tag | #1 | #3 | 0 |
| site health your tag | #23 | #23 | up 1 |
| dashboard widget your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.

Release cadence

It would be better if it also removed the Tools > Site Health function as well. There is simple code function escode_remove_site_health_feature() { remove_submenu_page( 'tools.php', 'site-health.php' ); } add_action( 'admin_menu', 'escode_remove_site_health_feature' ); This topic was modified 6 years ago by flyingkites.
