Biggest opportunity: “blog stats”, “traffic counter” and “traffic statistics” 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 →5.5%
of downloads still active
At least 6K of 109.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Analytics plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,007 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Analytics plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 6.1.16.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| blog stats your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| traffic counter your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| traffic statistics your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| visitor counter your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| visitor traffic your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

It is very interesting, I would like to try it but it shows me an error loading images I searched for the error on the internet and I could see that websites all over the world have the same problem with the images.

Please: 1) Approve the italian handmade translation. 2) Add the option/the possibility to “COMPLETELY REMOVE” the big counter at the top of the widget. The large counter at the top may not please everyone. Thanks!!
