Biggest opportunity: Swap “backup” and “google drive” for “checkpoints” and “rollback”. “backup” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “checkpoints” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “google drive” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “rollback” sits at #22 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →12%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 809 lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Backup plugin keeps 1.6%, across 282 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Backup plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
