Biggest opportunity: “history”, “horizontal” and “timeline” 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 400 of 13.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,770 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| history your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| horizontal your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| timeline your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

From first starting a business with wordpress, I always use this plugin to show timeline on every website we make. Very good
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ ghudson8.2y ago
I chose this plugin because of it’s clean look, and the colors kinda matched our site colors anyways. I handed it off to our media team and moved along. I came back to check on it, and saw they had added 49 posts with dates ranging from 1941 to 2017. “Alright”, I thought, “that sounds about right.” So I got to check out the page and what I find baffles me. The wrapper div for the list of events, div.events, had a fixed width of 1,665,780px. The difference between the two dates in 1941 was 60px, and the difference between 1941 and 1942 was a whopping 22,000px. Compounded with this issue is the constant logging of undefined index notices coming from this plugin that if filling our debug log. As hilarious as this is, without better documentation of use, and without a better algorithm or finding the difference, I can in no way recommend this plugin.
