Biggest opportunity: “cafe”, “food” and “menu” 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 54K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,187 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.
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 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.4.25.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| appetizer your tag | #8 | #2 | 0 |
| cafe your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| food your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| menu your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| restaurant your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Release cadence

it says you can use shortcode to embed it in post and pages which is not true at all. Nowhere can you find the shortcodes

Thanks for this easy to use plugin! You have everything you need to publish a nice menu!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ pmgsolutions7.4y ago
This plugin is excellent and is exactly what i was looking for to ad a nice menu to my restaurant’s website. I was tired of just putting a photo of my in house menu on the page as this looks much nicer and displays great on mobile. Easy to set up and create menu page with photos. When i reached out to support they were quick to respond and very helpful. Highly Recommend! Thank you.

This is by far my favourite plugin for restaurant menus. It’s super easy to use and customize, and the support from the author is very fast.
