Biggest opportunity: Swap “wordpress backup”, “cloud backup” and “database restore” for “content migration”, “sftp” and “migration”. “wordpress backup” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “content migration” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “cloud backup” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “sftp” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “database restore” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #22. “migration” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →1.3%
of downloads still active
At least 5K of 398.5K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Backup plugin keeps 1.6%, across 285 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 4 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “wordpress backup”, “cloud backup” and “database restore” for “content migration”, “sftp” and “migration”. “wordpress backup” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “content migration” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “cloud backup” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “sftp” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “database restore” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #22. “migration” 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 “wordpress migration”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
