How it's measured →5.1%
of downloads still active
At least 100K of 2M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Chat & Support plugin keeps 0.8%, across 627 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Chat & Support 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 5 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.

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.

What to do about it
- Your five tags are all earning their place. Each gets you onto page 1 of its own search, so none is worth giving up. “whatsapp button”, “whatsapp plugin” and “whatsapp support” (#4, #4 and #4 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.
