Biggest opportunity: Swap “headless” for “snap”. “headless” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “snap” sits at #16 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 →1.0%
of downloads still active
At least 30 of 2.9K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Performance plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,103 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Performance plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| snap | #16 | #23 | down 3 |
| static site generator your tag | #23 | #24 | down 6 |
| headless your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| performance your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| security your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| seo your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
7 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 2 listed. 5 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “headless” for “snap”. “headless” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “snap” sits at #16 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- Slipping on “static site generator”. Down 6 places since 2026-09-20, now #23. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.

Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence
