Biggest opportunity: Add “rss reader” to your wp.org tags. You rank #13 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed it's a slot worth spending.

How it's measured →0.1%
of downloads still active
At least 10 of 7.8K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Content & Feeds plugin keeps 0.8%, across 864 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Content & Feeds 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 1 release 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.

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.

I can’t believe no one has reviewed this plugin yet. This is my favorite RSS reader plugin for WordPress. The design is simple (no clutter or unessasary settings). It works great too right out of the box. It also has some nice JavaScript effects.
