Biggest opportunity: Add “scheduler”, “polling” and “actions” to your wp.org tags. You rank #4, #6 and #7 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 0 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 3K of 19.4K 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 9 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.

Wonderful time saver! Simple, efficient, direct…love it! Rich

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I had tried to create something like this with some custom code, but ran into all sorts of problems. I had a WooCommerce store creating thousands of log records every hour (different plugin causing problems – hopefully now resolved), and had a database of about 10GB. This literally saved my sanity. Thank you so much.

I tested it on a site where I found out after 1 month that I have a 7GB database (from actions and logs). I tested this plugin after many failed tests. It worked great. I recommend!
