Biggest opportunity: Add “circular”, “go to top” and “bottom to top” to your wp.org tags. You rank #7, #13 and #14 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 1K of 11.1K 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.

What to do about it
- Add “circular”, “go to top” and “bottom to top” to your wp.org tags. You rank #7, #13 and #14 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.
- One page off on “back to top button”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “smooth scroll”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
