Biggest opportunity: One page off on “corona virus”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

of downloads still active
At least 30 of 6K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,784 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.
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 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.5.24, well behind 7.1.

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.

What to do about it
- One page off on “corona virus”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “coronavirus”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “covid” and “covid 19” 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.
- Already on top for “coronavirus stats”. #1 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.
