Biggest opportunity: “facebook messenger”, “live chat plugin” and “telegram” 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 600 of 15.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Social plugin keeps 0.5%, across 1,276 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Social 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 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.5.24.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| replain live chat your tag | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| facebook messenger your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| live chat plugin your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

3 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 2 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Best chat plugin i know
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ dexus5.0y ago
Thanks for great work and lot of possibilities to change parameters of chat window (color, welcome message, time online/offline, voice callback, chat reviews and lots of…). Very powerful engine, all details manageable over Telegram. Great work! This topic was modified 4 years, 9 months ago by dexus.

В день приходит 2-3 спам сообщения от разработчиков, причем они в том же чате, где клиенты. Бесплатного функционала кроме самого чата нет, даже тупо ссылку сделать на чат – уже нужна подписка! This topic was modified 6 years ago by warmon.
