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.

How it's measured →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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| audit log your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| auto update your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| maintenance your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| security your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Crossed into this band 49 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 30.
At the current install trend, crossing 40+ in roughly 79 days.

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”.
