of downloads still active
At least 30 of 5.1K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,773 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| playwright your tag | #13 | #24 | down 1 |
| puppeteer your tag | Not checked yet | ||
| screenshot your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| screenshots your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| url to png your tag | Not checked yet | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- One page off on “playwright”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “screenshot” and “screenshots” 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.

Very simple to setup and the screenshots look amazing. Highly recommend this plugin for screenshoting.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ nathaningram9.9y ago
This is a well-executed plugin and would be a helpful tool for many users if not for the price. In order to use the plugin, a URLbox.io account is necessary. Good news, it’s free for 7 days. Bad news, it’s $29 a month after that. I’m not sure of many applications that would justify that price tag. Shame… it’s a nice plugin.
