Biggest opportunity: “dashboard plugin”, “front end dashboard” and “user dashboard” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 20 of 8.5K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,192 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.
Removal-risk signals
51/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 13+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- No tested-up-to version. The listing declares no "Tested up to" version.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| dashboard plugin your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| front end dashboard your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| user dashboard your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Useful plugin but with wrong name and wrong tag “dashboard plugin”. In wordPress usually dashboard mean back-end dashboard from where user administrate dashboard.

Excellent plugin, exactly what I was looking for. I have tried I don’t know how many plugins but any of them offer the features that this one have like keeping users away from the wp-admin file and allow to modify their profiles on the front end. Good job!
