- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.8.15.

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
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

A simple plugin that does one thing and does it well. Nice one!

When I try to upload, it adds a weird looking progress meter (I think it’s a progress meter, hard to tell), but it doesn’t ever increase in progress, it just sits there doing nothing. Doesn’t seem to work at all.
