Biggest opportunity: “e commerce”, “image protection” and “photography” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 10 of 13.7K lifetime downloads are still running, below 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.
This plugin shipped 1 release 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.

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 |

If install this plugin, it will tell you to register with your name and email! After registering with high hopes, you would see this crappy plugin doesn’t work at all! This plugin is just a spam plugin to take your name and email on their server!

Completely useless plugin. Compression does not work (except for the tab, there are no settings or the ability to use). Installation of a watermark is available only after authorization. But at the same time, you must first register on the service, and then find out that you need to register on a separate project, but you are not allowed to delete your account. And when you set everything up and decide to use the functionality, it turns out that this also does not work! In fact, cheating registrations on the service and nothing more.
