How it's measured →0.8%
of downloads still active
At least 10 of 1.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,191 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.
This plugin shipped 2 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.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| smiling syntax your tag | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| small tools your tag | #13 | #23 | 0 |
| admin and site enhancements your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| dark mode your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| svg upload your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- One page off on “small tools”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “admin and site enhancements”, “dark mode” and “svg upload” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

Really liked the plugin. It reduced the number of plugins to be installed on the sites. It is indeed all in one tool.

I just tested the plugin and found that it includes many features I used to get with the use of multiple plugins. I’m definitely going to use it from now on. Truly awesome.
