Biggest opportunity: Swap “local times” and “current time” for “clocks” and “digital”. “local times” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #22. “clocks” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “current time” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #17. “digital” sits at #13 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 →5.3%
of downloads still active
At least 500 of 9.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,769 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 6 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.

This clock plugin does a great job of displaying the time. You can make many adjustments to include the date, have it in different sizes or show a different time zone. Simple yet powerful! 😀

This is a very good plugin. The clock is stylish and decorative.Easy to install.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ ecmvilleneuve11mo ago
You have no idea how much I searched & searched for a plugin like this where it will display my server time instead of the correct time display for each person who goes to my page but all the plugins were outdated and didn’t work.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ OllieJones11mo ago
This plugin sends a little bit of HTML and a 15K Javascript file to the user’s browser, then the browser updates the clocks. About as lightweight as anybody could hope for. Thanks for the good work.
