Biggest opportunity: “customizer”, “logo” and “storefront” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 2K of 87.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,771 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.

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.

Storefront loads incredibly fast, so I wanted to use it. But a very difficult theme to customize. I spent a whole day trying to find the hooks and template files to disable the Page Title. All to no avail. Thank you so much for creating this plugin!! I have some custom work and will reach out to you.

Nice plugin to add custom banner messages in the top bar. Use one widget set to center alignment for a single message centered on your pages.

Love this plugin!

Works as promised and should be part of the “Storefront” theme by default. I like that you can turn this top bar off on mobile displays. Some more options for convenience would be nice like settings for margins, paddings, widths, borders …
