Install conversion
How it's measured →5.9%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 16.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,326 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Media plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

What to do about it
- One page off on “variation gallery for woocommerce”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “gallery” and “woocommerce variation gallery” 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.
