Biggest opportunity: Swap “favorite” for “trending”. “favorite” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #22. “trending” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →3.8%
of downloads still active
At least 500 of 13K 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 5 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “favorite” for “trending”. “favorite” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #22. “trending” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

I had looked for many similar plugins but it seems that nowadays they are not as common as they were years ago. Finally, I came across this one that fulfilled all the needs I required.It is easy to use, elegant and GDPR compliant. I highly recommend it!

An excellent plugin. I implemented it into an Elementor Single Post and Post Loop template with relative ease because of the many options available.The ‘Full Page Caching support’ option is great too as I, like many use caching on my sites.
