low volume, under 1,000 downloads a month
Biggest opportunity: “monitoring” and “up time” 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.
Install conversion
How it's measured →1.1%
of downloads still active
At least 30 of 2.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,785 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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 12+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.7.41, well behind 7.1.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| monitoring your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| up time your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

This looks to be a great plugin! My site hasn’t gone down yet, so I haven’t received an email yet and can’t give a full review, but I like the idea and simplicity. One thing that I would really like to see integrated: Slack.com Slack has an integration with Pingdom to feed uptime monitoring to the whole team, it would be super great if SensorPress could provide this feature!

Simply assuming your website is always up and earning you money, is an error in logic. If your website is a revenue stream, you need to KNOW it is up and you should want to be notified when it is down. Guess what, just because your paying for web hosting, doesn’t mean your host is going to let you know when your website goes down. I have a client whose website is down, several times per day, but never receives any notification or explanation from the host. This plugin, helps you stay on top of up/down time. It is very simple, effective and its free. What else could you want?
