Biggest opportunity: Swap “page update” and “post update” for “spain” and “wordpress admin panel”. “page update” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “spain” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “post update” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “wordpress admin panel” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →9.4%
of downloads still active
At least 6K of 63.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 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 4 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.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “page update” and “post update” for “spain” and “wordpress admin panel”. “page update” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “spain” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “post update” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “wordpress admin panel” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Simple superb plugin. Does what it says it will do. Should be Core WP (kinda obvious).
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ ericscoles3.7y ago
Main utility of this plugin is the ability to sort. In order to sort on custom post types, you have to add a custom filter, which adds overhead. WordPress doesn’t appear to have the capability to add this feature without coding, so I suppose this is probably as good as you’ll find.
