of downloads still active
At least 600 of 13.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 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.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| memory meter your tag | #1 | #5 | 0 |
| meter | #4 | #19 | down 1 |
| memory usage your tag | #5 | #21 | up 1 |
| memory your tag | #5 | #18 | down 1 |
| memory limit your tag | #6 | #20 | 0 |
| memory log your tag | #9 | #21 | down 1 |
9 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 6 listed. 3 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).
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. “meter” (#4 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
Occasionally updatedHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ sx10012.2y ago
It looks as if they authors of this plugin didn’t really think about the pros and cons of setting specific settings and/or requirements. Why for example set the WP minimum version to 6.4.0, if indeed it also works on 5.x? Why set such useless limits? We did patch the plugin accordingly manually and can now use it. Luckily, also the logging of the requested page can be easily enabled instead of relying on the “manage_options” capability. Just set the if-clause to if(1)…

I was looking for a simple WP stats plugin and found this. It was nice and i liked it. Definitely 5 stars from me! Thanks. P.S. Bad reviews can be avoided if the PRO features and upgrade necessity is mentioned in detail on the plugin’s page.
