of downloads still active
At least 100 of 9.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,191 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| accessible mobile menu your tag | #11 | #23 | up 2 |
| drop down your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| menu your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| responsive your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| select 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.
What to do about it
- One page off on “accessible mobile menu”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “drop down”, “menu” and “responsive” 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.

Release cadence

Great little plugin. Could use some more settings though to better target which navigations need to be transformed into a Select Box. Does not work with the Elementor Nav widget, only default WordPress Menu widgets (also available via Elementor, but cannot be styled via Elementor).

This is a simple, light-weight, fast-loading mobile menu plugin. It works harmoniously with the WP 2012 theme. A great choice if you don’t need all the bells and whistles. Many thanks to Saskia for updating this simple but effective plugin.
