Biggest opportunity: “audit log”, “auto update” and “maintenance” 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.

2.0%

of downloads still active

At least 30 of 1.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,189 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

This plugin shipped 13 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

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.

    In the default view, the Update Log displays a very clear list of recent update activities. If desired, you can view a great deal of detail about each individual activity.  I also find the auto-updates view very well-designed. It’s much clearer than the standard plugin list, and you can configure updates quickly and easily.  I don’t use the Schedule feature at the moment, but I think it could be very useful for some admins.  I have all email notifications activated so I’m always up to date without having to visit each website explicitly. Quentin, keep up the good work!PS: A little feature request: when a plugin receives a major release, I’d like to skip the major release and automatically install the next minor release first. I don’t know if that’s possible, but it would be very helpful for some plugins.

    This simple plugin solve my problem of having unwanted updates, both for plugins and for WordPress.And with the logs I can keep track of what is updated and when, this is quite important to clarify some workflow.I once used a similar plugin, but It was way heavy and was more “brute-force”.
