Biggest opportunity: “ocean”, “tides” and “water” 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 100 of 5.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,769 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 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.2.30, well behind 6.8.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ocean tide | #4 | #3 | 0 |
| tide your tag | #24 | #19 | down 2 |
| ocean your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| tides your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| water your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
3 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 2 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank
Ranked about #13,300 to #16,400, alongside the other plugins at 100+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.
Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

I use this plug-in on a local website (LBI) for use by people visiting the Bay and Ocean side for fishing. Although the plug-in has not been updated in two years, it is still useful and runs on WordPress 4.9.7 with no apparent issues.

Good tide data, but its now always showing the date as the day before, therefore I’m not sure about the data. I think it may have occurred when I updated to 4.3 in the last few days. Thanks, Tom

Since there was only one rating, I thought I would add one of my own. If you’re looking for US tides, this is the widget for you. It’s free because it is used to promote the app which is the most widely used tide app for the iPhone. I hope everyone enjoys it and I’m always updating it on the server end. The plugin doesn’t require updates to add more functionality, so it may look old, but it’s functions are actually very new.

Widget has not been updated in over a year and is not responsive. Really good tide content but the developer seems to be concentrating on the app version, not the widget. The tide server seems to respond very slowly.
