Biggest opportunity: “gateway”, “klarna” and “payment gateway” 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.

How it's measured →4.0%
of downloads still active
At least 600 of 15K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Payments plugin keeps 1.0%, across 1,042 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Payments 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.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| sofortueberweisung your tag | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| gateway your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| klarna your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| payment gateway your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| woocommerce your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Release cadence

We use the plugin for our new Website and I’m really impressed by how smooth the process was. I just copy-pasted in the key’s I got from klarna and everything worked right away. Great! Tom from Gebrüder Holz 🌲

Ein lobenswerter, freundlicher, entgegenkommender Programmierer, half mir aus einer festgefahrener Situation, beim aktivieren von Sofort-Überweisung. Leider ist der Support von Klarna nicht so zuvorkommend gewesen, den mit ein paar kurzen Tipps die mir nicht halfen war die Beantwortung meiner Fragen schon vorbei. Ein herzliches Dankeschön geht an Herrn Michael Leithold

Solid plugin, easy to configure. Apart from that, Sofort is also a great online payment option in Europe. Worth checking out!
