Biggest opportunity: Swap “prefetch” for “perf”. “prefetch” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “perf” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “prefetch” for “perf”. “prefetch” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “perf” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “prerender”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “speculative loading”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
