Biggest opportunity: Add “log viewer”, “file integrity” and “tools” to your wp.org tags. You rank #15, #21 and #24 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 2 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 500 of 3.8K 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 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.

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.

Estimated active installs
The public count shows “500+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 31 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 500.

I like how it just works, is unobtrusive and simple. Great work
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Knut Sparhell2.3y ago
Some Site Health tests and diagnostic tools are not suited for automated testing, and always to be executed and shown in the Site Health main Status tab. They may also not be pure static information, or limited size suited for the Info tab, like text/log file contents. This excellent, high quality plugin lists such tools, tests and viwers in an accordion under an additional Site Health tab labelled Tools. This accordion is filterable and hence extendable for developers to add their own special tools. To ensure such modifaction or additions to always work, developers may declare this plgins as a dependcy of their own. The included tools in version 1.0 are not quite perfect and complete yet, but will most likely be enhanced through constructive feedback from the community. Immature features: Debug Logs: It uses the WP_DEBUG_LOG constant to determin the log file, not assuming debug.log.and this is excellent. But what about a very large log file? File Integrity reportsversion.phpto be modified on localized installations Plugin Compatibility: A lot of processing on third party service just to return that “Highest supported PHP” is either “Could not be determined” or “8.0”, ignoring what the plugins themselves declare, and never reports any higher than 8.0. Transient Summary does not separate expired transients. The description does not warn that deleting all transient may slow down the site or the admin for a while, until regenerated. A few enhancements and this is five stars from me! This topic was modified 1 year, 11 months ago by Knut Sparhell.
