Biggest opportunity: “custom javascript”, “custom js” and “edit js theme” 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 10K of 118K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,765 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.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 6.1.16.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| custom javascript your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| custom js your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| edit js theme your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| javascript editor your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 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.
What to do about it
- “custom javascript”, “custom js” and “edit js theme” 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.

Release cadence

I’m a web noob. I had some simple javascript I wanted to add to a WordPress page. Tried 3 or 4 other javascript plugins, including very popular ones, and nothing happened. I pasted the exact same code into this plugin and it worked like a charm. Super simple easy interface; just a box for code. Wish you could limit to particular pages but it still works for me.

Its a great plugin.I was looking for something like this for some time now. I have placed a button on my homepage and has written the javascript code in your js editor. But, the code is not taking effect. Not sure what wrong.
