of downloads still active
At least 10K of 77.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| okapi button your tag | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| sticky button | #8 | #16 | 0 |
| whatsapp sticky button your tag | #9 | #21 | down 2 |
| wp sticky button your tag | #12 | #22 | down 2 |
| button for frontend your tag | #21 | #24 | down 3 |
| whatsapp button your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
11 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 5 listed. 6 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- One page off on “wp sticky button”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “whatsapp button” isn't earning a slot. You list it, but you're not in the first 24 results for that search. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.
