low volume, under 1,000 downloads a month
Biggest opportunity: “configuration”, “htaccess” and “php info” 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.
Install conversion
How it's measured →1.2%
of downloads still active
At least 40 of 3.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,781 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.
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 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.35, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| configuration your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| htaccess your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| php info your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| php.ini your tag | Not checked yet | ||
| wp config your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Directory rank
Ranked about #21,400 to #22,800, alongside the other plugins at 40+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 1 Nov 2026.
Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ jhotadhari8.5y ago
Hi, thanks for the plugin. it does exactly what it should do. easy, simple. works great. USE IT WITH CARE!!! then it is super It’s useful as an super easy way to access these files. So e.g.: If I don’t have access to my clients live system, I’ll still be able to ask her/him for some php.ini infos. And it’s easy for them. Problem: The Plugin does what it should do. It displays sensitive config in the wp-admin. So everyone with capability ‘manage_options‘ (possible to filter by ‘klick_cs_capability_required’) will see the wp-config.php and will see passwords and get access to the database. Administrator will see this info, may be other roles as well. But usually it’s the case that someone has the admin role, to manage wp, but we actually don’t want him/her to have access to the database directly. Please be careful using this plugin. All the best, jhotadhari
