Biggest opportunity: “picture”, “picture element” and “responsive images” 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 500 of 46.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,770 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.35, well behind 6.8.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| picture your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| picture element your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| responsive images your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| sizes your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| srcset 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
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

I was looking for that for ages! Saved me hours on old themes :’D

This Plugin accomplished, what all others failed to do: make my images responsive, which was blocked by my theme’s developer (Grand Photography by Theemegoods). From what I’ve seen, support is outstanding and doens’t leave anything to be desired.

THANK YOU! This did indeed work, “plug-n-play.”

I tried many different plugins before i found this one, and it’s easily the best of the bunch. It allowed me to add srcset to all the images on my website which wasn’t done by default with my theme. As other reviewers have said, the plugin author is very helpful and definitely lives up to the claim that Responsify WP cares about responsive images!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ TheHungryGeek10.7y ago
The current WordPress responsive image implementation only inserts srcsets for your images when the aspect ratio differs by less than 0.002. If you wish to insert srcsets where the images’ aspect ratios differ by greater than 0.002, this plugin is a must! If you theme already creates a ton of image sizes and you don’t want to waste them this plugin is for you. The rwp_add_filters filter with the included snippet in the documentation allows you to apply the srcsets to images used by other plugins and widgets. Further, the author provides fantastic support on the forums – bugs are fixed quick. This is a great plugin with great support!

Does the wanted job. I found a simple solution to generat background-image tha work similar to img tag with src attribute. Good job.

Great work, thank you so much, this is exactly, what I needed! I did something wrong in the first try – I used custom media queries and forget to add the unit of measures (in my case px) to the value.
