Biggest opportunity: “analytics”, “gdpr” and “pageviews” 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 30 of 2K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Analytics plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,007 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Analytics 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 2 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.

I’ve been using Scoby on my website for a couple of weeks now, and I have to say that so far it has been a great experience and one of the better analytics plugins I have tried. The plugin is very lightweight with no measurable impact on site performance, and the dashboard is really extensive with a lot of useful information.
