Biggest opportunity: Swap “update”, “backup” and “backups” for “rollback”, “backup restore” and “scheduled backup”. “update” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “rollback” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “backup” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “backup restore” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “backups” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “scheduled backup” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Install conversion
How it's measured →4.3%
of downloads still active
At least 90K of 2.1M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Backup plugin keeps 1.6%, across 282 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Backup 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 30 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.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “update”, “backup” and “backups” for “rollback”, “backup restore” and “scheduled backup”. “update” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “rollback” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “backup” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “backup restore” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “backups” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “scheduled backup” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “backup”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “backups”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Estimated active installs
The public count shows “90K+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 24 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 90K.
At the current install trend, crossing 100K+ in roughly 82 days.

I’m very happy with WP Umbrella, it’s a great tool for my webdesign business. The support team is very helpful and prompt to reply which is a big help!

2–3 years ago, we migrated from ManageWP to WP Umbrella, and it was one of the best decisions we’ve made. We’re more than happy with the platform. It’s stable, packed with useful features, and the support team is fantastic, always quick to respond and genuinely helpful. Highly recommended!

Never mind the fact that the service itself it top-notch, and covers everything I ever needed in a service like this, their support team is always incredibly helpful!Much appreciated to all involved!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ 3yq9nfgnvh6mo ago
It’s pretty good. The interface is very nice, but it’s missing some crucial features that competitors have. Additionally, the roadmap/feedback page has lots of stuff that they say is “upcoming” or “coming soon” and it’s been years since they posted that and there has been no movement. The service is so close to being the best bulk management service but it’s just not quite there yet. This topic was modified 2 months, 1 week ago by 3yq9nfgnvh.

Great tool for managing your site’s status and monitoring current critical issues.

This plugin is simply excellent and fulfills all the necessary functions for truly professional maintenance. The roadmap is clear and detailed, consistently announcing great improvements, and the feature request list is very active, allowing us to see fantastic enhancements appear in our interface as requests are received! And what can I say about the support? 🙂 Top-notch, friendly, and incredibly responsive. Aurelio, Boris, Doroteja, Philipp, Alex, and Thomas (apologies if I’ve forgotten anyone) are always there to help us with any issues. A well-deserved five stars.
