Biggest opportunity: Swap “slider” and “remote screen” for “signage” and “tv shows”. “slider” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “signage” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “remote screen” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “tv shows” sits at #16 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →1.4%
of downloads still active
At least 300 of 21.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,321 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Media 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| wpscreens your tag | #1 | #1 | — |

14 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 6 listed. 8 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “slider” and “remote screen” for “signage” and “tv shows”. “slider” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “signage” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “remote screen” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “tv shows” sits at #16 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “remote screen”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

I am using this system at a campground – yes, at campground to display information to my campers and visitors. I love it because the content can be dynamically updated from my wordpress website by anybody. I had tried other systems but updates needed to be done by me – with it being done on my website, then my wife or one of our employees can easily do real-time updates. Highly recommend it!

A perfect solution to show rich presentations on a large screen on company premises or shop window. I see the main strength in how easy you can edit and update the content – just like you would do that on your website.
