Biggest opportunity: Swap “accessibility” for “klick”. “accessibility” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “klick” sits at #4 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 →1.6%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 6.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,770 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.

Das Plugin ist einfach in die Homepage zu intergrieren und funktioniert eben bis auf die +/- Steuerung sehr sehr gut. Dabei braucht es die +/- Steuerung gar nicht weil jeder mit einer Behinderung des Sehens dies sowieso schon längst weiss, wie es funktioniert!!!
