Biggest opportunity: “image file limit”, “image resize” and “png convert” 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 →3.2%
of downloads still active
At least 200 of 6.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median SEO plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,192 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other SEO 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 1 release 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.

| png convert your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Main thing I was looking for was a way to disable WordPress from hiding my larger uploaded images. Thank you!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Manny Rodrigues6.7y ago
A handy plugin for any WordPress web master wanting to help their clients with reasonably sized image uploads. This keeps their web site images to a reasonable dimension (one that we can set) for optimal page speed performance. It will also disable WordPress’ 2560px image dimension threshold limit. An annoying feature since it keeps the original but renames the main use image with -scaled. No way to remove the original (besides manually) which is usually in the MegaByte file size range. Overall great little plugin. But don’t take my word for it, I’m biased. 😉
