Biggest opportunity: Add “schedule” to your wp.org tags. You rank #15 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 3 listed it's a slot worth spending.

How it's measured →5.6%
of downloads still active
At least 200 of 3.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,773 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.

Directory rank
Ranked about #11,300 to #12,900, alongside the other plugins at 200+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 1 Nov 2026.
Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence

Like the previous commenter, I have tried many similar plugins. It wasn’t until I used this plugin that I realized that a good plugin was able to not slow down my server.While always grateful to other plugin authors, I rarely comment. This time I just couldn’t resist and had to give a 5-star review to solve my big problem.Dear author, if you have the energy, I sincerely hope that you can develop a plug-in for related posts, currently all similar plug-ins are too occupy system resources, are seriously slowing down the site access speed.
