How it's measured →0.3%
of downloads still active
At least 10 of 3.8K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median AI plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,009 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other AI 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 11 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| chatbot your tag | #24 | #21 | down 17 |
| ai assistant your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| ai chatbot your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| customer support your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| support bot your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
17 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 16 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Slipping on “chatbot”. Down 17 places since 2026-08-03, now #24. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- “ai assistant”, “ai chatbot” and “customer support” 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.

Estimated active installs

Crossed into this band 47 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 20.
