Biggest opportunity: “design”, “layout” and “mobile” 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 10 of 14.5K lifetime downloads are still running, below 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 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.4.34, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| design your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| layout your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| mobile your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| responsive your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| test 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.

Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence

After installing this plugin I had lots of errors appearing on my screen when I wanted to activate it. I then decided to de-activate and delete the plugin. Each time I went to delete this SINGLE plugin, I’d get a message asking me to confirm that I wanted to delete ALL my plugins. Obviously this was not the case. Now I have this untrustworthy plugin on my dashboard and would like to have it either work properly or be deleted all together without affecting my other plugins.

Thanks for making it.

This is great. I use Chris Penderick’s Dev Tools and this is a great add on to that. I only wish this was a browser plugin! I have to install it on all my WP sites, but that is the nature of plugins. Thanks for creating this. It’s fast and more accurate than other simulators that mostly just show your site in an iframe. This picks up plugins and hides menus like the device would. Great job!
