Biggest opportunity: “fixed button scroller”, “one click scroller” and “scroll to top plugin” 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 →0.5%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 19.2K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,783 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.5.33, well behind 7.1.

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.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ adaldesign9.8y ago
When loading the plugin directory URL use plugins_url() instead of WP_PLUGIN_URL Eg: define(‘advps_url’,plugins_url().”/advanced-post-slider/”); Source: stt.php, lines# 54, 62 and 167. Because WP_PLUGIN_URL doesn’t work on SSL properly and caused delay for the launch of our website. Similar advise seen here.

Be aware that with the free version, there are not option settings as described. The arrow icon is missing for my web site. The settings screen is just one big advertising trying to sell you the pay version. Deleted.

The free plugin is a very simple solution for a very simple problem. I have some really long content like this 9,000-word guide on how to start a blog and I wanted to have a little button that would allow people to get to the top without breaking their scrolling finger! You can see it in action there. This plugin allows you to choose colors and a few different styles which means your blog design won’t be ruined. Not much more to say. Works well, does its job.

Nice Plugin. Works Great I especially like icon-2
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Neil11.9y ago
Apart from icon-4 being mislabelled and therefore not available, the free version works nicely – simply. You can fix it by going into the plugin folder > src_icons and changing Icon-4 to icon-4. The Premium version 2.0 has spelling mistakes, the color picker doesn’t show and the page can’t scroll down again after pressing the scroll to top function. $5 wasted.
