Biggest opportunity: Swap “admin”, “notification” and “notifications” for “center”, “admin notices” and “hide admin notifications”. “admin” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “center” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “notification” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “admin notices” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “notifications” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “hide admin notifications” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 7K of 53.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,192 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 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “admin”, “notification” and “notifications” for “center”, “admin notices” and “hide admin notifications”. “admin” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “center” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “notification” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “admin notices” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “notifications” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “hide admin notifications” sits at #9 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 “notices”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

This is an essential plugin in my opinion and should even be considered as part of the WordPress core. Removing annoying notifications and placing these in a contained place makes a lot of sense. The plugin is well thought out in that the notifications are still easily accessible and the user can quickly see if there are new notifications that need to be reviewed.
