Biggest opportunity: Swap “weather” and “weather widget” for “weather api” and “weather block”. “weather” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “weather api” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “weather widget” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #19. “weather block” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →2.3%
of downloads still active
At least 40 of 1.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,188 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities 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 2 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| local weather your tag | #10 | #20 | 0 |
| google weather your tag | #12 | #22 | — |
| live weather your tag | #18 | #24 | up 1 |
| weather widget your tag | #19 | #24 | down 3 |
| weather api | #20 | #24 | up 1 |
| weather block | #24 | #23 | down 3 |
| weather forecast | #22 | #24 | down 4 |
| weather your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
40 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 7 listed. 33 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
- Swap “weather” and “weather widget” for “weather api” and “weather block”. “weather” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “weather api” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “weather widget” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #19. “weather block” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “google weather”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ bombswag1.1y ago
We’ve been using WeatherBot on our site, bombswag.com, and it does exactly what we wanted. The widget makes it simple to display the weather for each city where we sell gifts and souvenirs, and it works flawlessly. It’s very easy to set up and powerful enough to just interpret whatever city name we put in. So far, it delivers accurate, real-time weather – we check it against google all the time. Perfect plugin — highly recommended!
