Biggest opportunity: “the day we fight back” isn't earning a slot. You list it, but you're not in the first 24 results for that search. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.
Install conversion
How it's measured →0.4%
of downloads still active
At least 30 of 6.8K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,786 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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 12+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.7.41, well behind 7.1.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| nsa your tag | #4 | #2 | 0 |
| the day we fight back your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.

Heard of it today. I would love to have participated in this project…

I’m giving this one star because it was released only a day before the day that it was suppose to be useful.

I appreciate the option for non-US sites – should be default.

Simple to install and will hopefully get the message across to people who still have no idea as to the sheer amount of surveillance they are under.

This is an excellent cause. Thank you very much for releasing the plugin. I probably wouldn’t have gone to the hassle of implementing this otherwise.

This plugin makes it very easy to participate in The Day We Fight Back. Site visitors can’t miss the banner, and they have a clear way to take action. The U.S. version prompts people to call and email their legislators, while the international version allows for people to sign a petition.
