0.3%

of downloads still active

At least 20 of 6.4K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,150 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.

Search visibility

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.

Keyword wp.org On merit Change
remove title #23 #24

What to do about it

  • Add “remove title” to your wp.org tags. You already rank #23 for it without listing it. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so it's a slot worth spending.

Est. acquisition value

N/A

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.
