Biggest opportunity: “database”, “debug” and “hooks” 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 10 of 3K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| debugbar | #1 | #3 | 0 |
| database your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| debug your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| hooks your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| queries your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| sql your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
3 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 2 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “database”, “debug” and “hooks” 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.
- Already on top for “debugbar”. #1 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

This plugin seemed to work fine for me. I wish the timeline ‘Rendering’ was broken down somehow with more granularity. I have always wished for a tway to tell which crappy plugin is burning up all the time to render a page.

I don’t understand why this fine little plugin doesn’t have much more fans. It integrates nicely at the bottom edge of your site-display, offering some KPI at all times, ready to be popped open when more information is needed. Its waterfall diagram (titled “Timeline”) helped me zoom in on a troublemaker in matter of moments; much more intuitive than quite a few alternatives I have tried before. Thank you, @avram; may this live long and gain the audience it deserves.
