Biggest opportunity: Swap “sms” for “widows”. “sms” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “widows” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 10 of 3.1K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,764 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.
This plugin shipped 1 release 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |

Estimated active installs
The public count shows “10+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band today and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 20.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ gregarmfield7.0y ago
I love this plugin, it’s super easy to install and configure. It simply adds a little text message widget to my site, so all my customers and new leads can easily click on it and send me a text message. It automatically stores all the contacts in my TextP2P online account and I can log in and quickly respond to their comments, questions and carry on a 2-way conversation with them whenever I want. I love that I can also setup automated text reply messages that are sent right to their phone. It can be a single text reply or multiple ones that are sent out on a schedule. Waiting on email replies can take days, but with texts I always get an immediate reply. My text messages come from a local virtual number that TextP2P assigns, so the client or lead thinks it’s actually coming from my personal cell phone.
