Biggest opportunity: “custom login”, “customization” and “login screen” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 5K of 234K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Login & Users plugin keeps 0.7%, across 1,476 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Login & Users plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| custom login your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| customization your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| login screen your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| themes your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| wordpress login your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Very easy to operate

(screams like steam) The documentation shows you how to remove the dorky cartoon figure — I assume. This installation went fine and everything worked, but for some reason I just wanted to scream at the bird. Sorry, folks …

YITH Custom Login exemplifies “simple to use.” I love using this plugin each time I do a new WordPress installation for a client. It is super easy to get a custom logo uploaded and sized. No more that a couple of minutes.
