Biggest opportunity: One page off on “time tracker”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

of downloads still active
At least 30 of 14K 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| time tracker your tag | #15 | #20 | 0 |
| billing hours your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| freelancer tools your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| time management your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| to do list your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
8 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 7 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
- One page off on “time tracker”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “billing hours”, “freelancer tools” and “time management” 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.

Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence

…why is it not even using the right Date/Time Format. Useless if your not in the US.

Hi Amy, I love your work and I want to translate to spanish as soon I’ve got a little time. But I would really love you more if you could create an add-on for WPForms. I appreciate so much. Best, Javier

Hi, I wanted to look into your plugin. It was only when installing that install of CF7 is mandatory for the plugin to be activated. This was not in the description and for me it’s a no go because I don’t want CF7. Charles
