Biggest opportunity: Add “update comment” and “count” to your wp.org tags. You rank #6 and #17 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active

At least 30 of 3.1K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Backup plugin keeps 1.6%, across 282 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Backup 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
comment count your tag	#2	#8	0
update comment	#6	#16	0
count	#17	#21	up 3
update comments	#18	#22	down 2
count up	#18	#21	down 3
count it	#19	#21	—
comments your tag	Not in the top 24
import export your tag	Not in the top 24
migration your tag	Not in the top 24

8 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 6 listed. 2 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

What to do about it

Add “update comment” and “count” to your wp.org tags. You rank #6 and #17 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

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

What its installed base runs

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

The public count shows “30+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.

tracked estimate

30–40 ≈40

Crossed into this band today and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 40.
