Biggest opportunity: “copy media”, “copy media url” and “one click copy media url” 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 →3.1%
of downloads still active
At least 200 of 6.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,324 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Media plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| copy media your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| copy media url your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| one click copy media url your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| wordpress copy media your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

What to do about it
- “copy media”, “copy media url” and “one click copy media url” 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.

I have a site that I work on all the time and the “copy media URL” function just would not work right ever and I need to use it all the time, so this plugin is EXACTLY what I needed. Thank you SO SO MUCH!!! Genuinely, this is going to change my entire process on this site and save a ton of time. If you have a premium version, I would be more than happy to purchase a license to help keep this plugin alive. THANK YOU!!

For those who wanna make woocommerce import csv/xlsx list this plugin is very handy, because you just click on the media link, without leaving the library, and then paste the URL into your sheet with ease.
