low volume, under 1,000 downloads a month
Biggest opportunity: “cleanup”, “database” and “editor” 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 832 lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Performance plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,106 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Performance plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 5 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| cleanup your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| database your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| editor your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| optimization your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| post meta your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 2 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Missing Features 1. Global search (highest priority) Currently the table only lists meta keys. Users cannot quickly search for: meta key plugin name post type sample value A live search box filtering the table instantly would probably become one of the most used features. 2. Advanced filtering Current view only supports pagination. Useful filters would be: Post type Plugin / Source Empty values only Unknown meta keys Only orphaned meta Keys used less than X times Keys used more than X times This would make large WooCommerce databases much easier to clean. 3. Sortable columns Currently everything is alphabetical. Allow sorting by: Meta key Count Plugin Post type Estimated database size 4. Database size column This is probably the biggest missing feature. Instead of only showing: _count = 12,354 show 12,354 rows 34.7 MB 5. Last modified information Show: newest post oldest post last modified Which posts use this key? Very valuable. Example: Used on ✓ Products (18,322) ✓ Orders (54,123) ✓ Pages (16) Then View posts could open the actual post list.********Performance Improvements 1. Lazy loading Currently the dashboard loads every meta key, then paginates in PHP. 2. Cache source lookup Current implementation loops through every prefix until a match is found. foreach(prefixes) for every row. Instead cache meta_key ↓ plugin during rendering. Minor improvement. 3. Progress bar Instead of Processing... show 34% 4200 / 12344 ETA 12 sec 4. Incremental refresh Current refresh rebuilds the whole dataset. A smarter refresh would update only changed keys. 5. Database indexes analysis Detect missing indexes. Example Your wp_postmeta table has no composite index Recommended: (meta_key, post_id) Could dramatically speed up operations on very large WooCommerce stores.
