Biggest opportunity: Swap “members” for “feedburner”. “members” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “feedburner” sits at #20 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 →0.4%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 24.9K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Content & Feeds plugin keeps 0.8%, across 866 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Content & Feeds plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

- Long abandoned. No update in 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| feedburner | #20 | #17 | 0 |
| members your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| rss your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| twitter your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| x your tag | Not checked yet | ||
| youtube your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Although Feedburner counter was removed (which is due to Google, not the plugin author), I am using this plugin with very little configuration.
