Biggest opportunity: “analysis”, “custom post type stats” and “wordpress statistics” 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.

1.3%

of downloads still active

At least 400 of 30.5K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Analytics plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,007 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Analytics plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
