of downloads still active
At least 1K of 160.8K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,771 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.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.5.24.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| jamstack your tag | #14 | #8 | down 2 |
| netlify your tag | #19 | #8 | down 4 |
| webhook your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Under-ranked on “netlify”. wp.org puts you #19; on merit you place #8. The plugins above you are winning on install count, not on rating or upkeep.
- One page off on “jamstack”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “webhook” 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.

I love how it shows the Netlify Badges in the Dashboard.

The perfect bridge between two awesome stacks: LAMP and JAMstack. Great work, thanks for sharing!

It does everything I need it to, and it does it perfectly. Thank you for this plugin. Release notes would be a great addition so I have more information when I’m making updates. But for anyone that has a Gatsby+Netlify deployment, this plugin is a godsend.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Ben Meredith7.0y ago
This plugin does some really great stuff to trigger a deploy on Netlify (or other JAMstack hosts) based on activity on the WordPress website. Most often this would be used for headless WordPress, but since it’s using build hooks (which essentially just tell the JAMstack host to process the build) it could be utilized for more than just headless CMS applications. The setup was straightforward, and aided by screenshots. I’ve not explored using JAMstack providers other than Netlify for setup, but for Netlify this config setup procedure was very simple. One thing I’d love to see is a manual override option: sometimes I want to make a few quick changes in a row on my WP site that would (by default) trigger a build for each one. I’d like to be able to manually tell this plugin “don’t trigger now” without having to manually deactivate it, and then when all changes are made I could deploy the changes all at once. This would save me some build minutes at Netlify. I’d envision this as a button in the top bar beside (or nested under) the deploy button that essentially allows “pausing” of deployments. All told, great plugin that does exactly what it says! This topic was modified 6 years, 8 months ago by Ben Meredith. Reason: typo
