Biggest opportunity: Swap “image maps” for “annotate”. “image maps” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #16. “annotate” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

2.5%

of downloads still active

At least 2K of 80.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,764 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.

This plugin shipped 7 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

    I have tried all the image hotspot plugins I could put my hands to, like 8 or 9. They where either too expensive or not as functional as this one, and some were very disappointing. This one is truly the best, the price is fair, documentation is just the basics, but support is awesome! I use it with the Brizy builder, and works as a charm. I am glad I found it.

    This is exactly what I was looking for. a simple image map cretor Very nicely written easy navigation. However it requires update to create more than one image map but there is no link in app to upgrade.
