Biggest opportunity: “profiles” isn't earning a slot. You list it, but you're not in the first 24 results for that search. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 700 of 20.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,773 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.

recent half vs earlier
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| accounts your tag | #19 | #19 | down 2 |
| profiles your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
4 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 3 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
- “profiles” isn't earning a slot. You list it, but you're not in the first 24 results for that search. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
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.

Hi there, just passing through and noticed a misspelling. In English the salutation is ‘Farewell’,or ‘Fare well’, not ‘Fair well’. Edit: On reading further I guess people can set their own messages referencing the other plugin you mention This topic was modified 5 years, 7 months ago by petetash.

This plugin beats all others (are there really any?) for this highly needed feature. The code is so simple to understand even a non-developer like me was able to customize a few things. The active support from the author has also guided me through. This topic was modified 7 years, 4 months ago by anonymized-14293447.

It works very nice, does the job well and lightweight. Modification requires some CSS skills, there is no gui for this unfortunately. This topic was modified 7 years, 5 months ago by hartv. Reason: Discussed

Funciona perfecto, pide confirmación del borrado y lo hace sin problemas, redirigiendo luego al usuario a la web. Desde mayo de 2018 obligatorio ofrecer esto en toda web o e-commerce debido al RGPD de la Unión Europea.
