Biggest opportunity: “analytics”, “events” and “ga” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 5K of 340.4K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Analytics plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,007 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Analytics 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 |

| analytics your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| events your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| ga your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Plugin got auto-updated yesterday. The latest edition broke our website. We missed events for around 10k visitors. Should be properly tested before release. Also, how the heck, it updated automatically? This topic was modified 6 years, 8 months ago by Varun Sharma.

I can’t comment about the Paid Pro version of this plug in, but the free version does absolutely nothing at all. Except for waste your time trying make it do something.
