Biggest opportunity: “tab”, “tabs” and “widget” 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 →2.3%
of downloads still active
At least 300 of 12.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,194 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities 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.

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 |

10 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 5 listed. 5 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “tab”, “tabs” and “widget” 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.
- Already on top for “tabbed widget”. #1 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

Well done, with useful and intuitive features
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ milestone10.5y ago
This plugin was just perfect for reducing the clutter in a heavy WooCommerce blinged site! Absolutely no dramas, totally obvious how to use it, can be used multiple times in the same sidebar and hasn’t caused any other widgets any problems – and is fully laced with CSS selectors for easy styling. Personally, I don’t need a shotcode so I’m not going to express an opinion :). So, Having tried a few alternatives, I can’t understand why this plugin is not used more widely.

It works well an the admin interface is very intuitive. I agree, a shortcode to add tabbed widgets to posts would complete this fantastic plugin.

just no shortcode mode.

Really liked it, was looking for sidebar widgets, this enables me to place all of my favorite widgets to a tabbed format easy as drag&drop. Performance-wise also. Will translate to my native language to give back.
