Biggest opportunity: Swap “reviews widget” for “feed widget”. “reviews widget” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “feed widget” sits at #12 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 →2.1%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 47.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,189 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities 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 14 releases 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “reviews widget” for “feed widget”. “reviews widget” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “feed widget” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- Slipping on “shoppable video”. Down 5 places since 2026-10-04, now #12. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- One page off on “social media feed”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

The Taggbox WordPress plugin is highly versatile. I came across this plugin and wanted to give it a try for creating UGC galleries. But with more hands-on experience with their services, it felt like using them more and more. Their features and solutions are very easy to use and compatible with any business type. I created UGC galleries for my website within minutes and they turned out to be breathtaking. Thank you Taggbox plugin for your timely and prompt support.

I love Taggbox and how it helps gather UGC from all social media and reviews platforms and create beautiful widgets out of them. It gives so many options to personalize the widget and create exceptionally attractive user-generated content galleries for the website. Taggbox has helped me as the time I was using it to track the performance of my content on various social media platforms. It was the best experience for my business. The dashboard is neat and user-friendly, you can easily set it up and navigate. I recommend this to any business.
