Biggest opportunity: Swap “admin” for “site offline”. “admin” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “site offline” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 20K of 901.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,189 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

We all have those go-to plugins that you install on every site… you already know from the title, but Ill repeat myself for the slower people; this is my go-to offline plugin. I use the paid version, but for the longest time, I just used the free version. It does exactly what you need it to in style. Try it, I think you’ll love it to. If not, I owe you a beer.
