Biggest opportunity: “analytics”, “icons” and “tools” 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.

How it's measured →0.9%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 11.3K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Analytics plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,006 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Analytics plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.35, well behind 6.8.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| analytics your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| icons your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| tools your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| tweet this your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| twitter your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
8 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 8 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank
Ranked about #13,300 to #16,400, alongside the other plugins at 100+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.
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.

Increíble plugin de lo único que me arrepiento es de no haberlo probado antes… El desarrollador Victor Campuzano nos ha facilitado que en tan solo un click podamos hacer cosas como: registrar eventos de Scroll de Página, registra eventos con nuevos comentarios… En mi blog Nachobenavides.com actualmente y por siempre estará en uso 😉
