Biggest opportunity: “shortcode” isn't earning a slot. You list it, but you're not in the first 24 results for that search. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.
Install conversion
How it's measured →0.2%
of downloads still active
At least 20 of 9.2K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,779 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.
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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| screenshot your tag | #2 | #10 | 0 |
| machine your tag | #8 | #22 | 0 |
| wordpress screenshot | #12 | #23 | — |
| page screenshot | #18 | #23 | 0 |
| shortcode your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
7 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 4 listed. 3 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.

Release cadence

This plugin just works. Thanks for developing!! It would have been so much more difficult to achieve what I was trying to do without this plugin. Awesome work!

I’ve been looking for a great screenshot plugin for some time. The ones that are on here are commonly blocked by the websites I need a picture of. Couldn’t have been easier to get it set up and works flawlessly. Keep up the great work!
