Biggest opportunity: Swap “activate” for “unconfirmed”. “activate” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “unconfirmed” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 1K of 271.8K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Email & Marketing plugin keeps 0.9%, across 1,294 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Email & Marketing 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 |

What to do about it
- Swap “activate” for “unconfirmed”. “activate” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “unconfirmed” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

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

Thank you developers! I used in a multisite and it has worked. If it helps any person, do not forget that the users (that not accepted) are located in the main network site, the Network Admin

Great that you’ve created this software. Easy to use, just go to network admin, users and unconfirmed and resend the activation link or enable the user. No hassle anymore. 🙂

Thank you for this plugin. Not sure why such a feature isn’t already part of Core, as it’s very useful when managing a multisite!

Nice, simple little plugin that makes it easy to get a user up and running when you have, for example, email deliverability issues.

Not working with 4.9.11 and no responses in the support forums from what i see. Pitty, it would be great if it worked.
