Biggest opportunity: “converter”, “images” and “optimization” 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.

How it's measured →2.4%
of downloads still active
At least 10 of 424 lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Performance plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,105 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.
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.

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.

I’ve been using Stintlief WebP Converter on a few WordPress sites and the experience has been very smooth so far. The plugin does exactly what it promises: converts images to WebP efficiently and helps improve page load speed without breaking existing layouts. Setup is straightforward, the UI is clean, and it works well with standard WordPress media uploads. What I liked most: Easy to configure, no unnecessary complexity Noticeable improvement in image performance Works reliably without conflicts Lightweight and focused on the core purpose If you’re looking for a simple and effective way to optimize images using WebP without dealing with heavy or bloated plugins, this is definitely worth trying. Great work by the developer. Looking forward to future updates 👍
