Biggest opportunity: “date”, “dates” and “relative” 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 90 of 3.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,766 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| yesterday your tag | #1 | #3 | 0 |
| today your tag | #17 | #22 | 0 |
| relative date | #11 | #19 | up 1 |

Health trend
Composite health score, snapshotted daily
Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
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
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.

Ставлю оценку только установив но ещё не успев активировать плагин. Заранее знаю что всё будет хорошо. Мы используем большинство плагинов автора Flector, и все работают без отказно. Рекомендую всем переходить по ссылке автора в плагине, и посмотреть на остальные платаны которые он сделал. Вы там не найдёте грандиозных инновационных разработок, Вас ожидают мелкие но очень полезные и супер простые в использовании плагины. У нас на всех сайтах стоит 80% плагинов автора, проблем с ними не знаем, плагины простые и надёжные как наган. Отдельно рекомендую плагин автора “No follow” Отдельно рекомендую обратить внимание на очень нужные в хозяйстве плагин Titles No Follow / Follow links. Очень полезная штука для каждого у кого есть сайт. С помощью плагина Вы легко добавляете для исходящих ссылок “titles” (что однозначно полезно для сайта перед поисковыми системами. Так же плагин легко добавляет и снимает “no follow”. Этот плагин стал ещё более актуален после того как Google заявил как относиться к спаму в виде ссылок от 02.07.2017 на их официальном форуме. P.S Автор и его на первый взгляд незначительные но факту очень полезные плагины напомнили старую передачу “Очумелые ручки”)))). Суть которой была так же изготовление мелких но нужных и полезных вещей в быту человека.
