Biggest opportunity: “doc”, “docs” and “documentation” 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 →0.1%
of downloads still active
At least 10 of 10.7K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Chat & Support plugin keeps 0.8%, across 629 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Chat & Support 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 2 releases 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.

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 |

| docs your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| documentation your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| documents your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ ccdsystems9.8y ago
This is by far the worst plugin we have purchased. The screen shots look good but the app does not fulfill its advertising. We purchased the PRO version with the expectation that some level of support would help resolve the issues – (1) missing table of contents, (2) wrong alignment, (3) bad fonts, (4) no customization options. Feedback from the vendor immediately went to blaming our configuration or other plugins for their problems. We proved the issues were not related to other plugins and were then told it was because of our theme’s CSS… like we should modify our entire theme’s design to accommodate their failure in development. DO NOT DOWNLOAD PLUGINS FROM THIS VENDOR.
