Biggest opportunity: One page off on “zipcode”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

of downloads still active
At least 80 of 10.8K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,770 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| zip code | #8 | #22 | down 1 |
| zipcode your tag | #12 | #13 | up 1 |
| zip | #23 | #23 | down 6 |
| message your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| postcode your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| redirect your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| website your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
8 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 3 listed. 5 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
- One page off on “zipcode”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “message”, “postcode” and “redirect” 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.

Health trend

Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

The public count shows “80+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band today and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 90.

It works perfectly, with many configurable options, exactly what I needed and has excellent support.

Come across this plugin but it was not what needed exactly, I contacted the developer and he adapted it to what we needed within 24 hours. If you need a UK Postcode redirection plugin this is the one you need.

Does exactly what I wanted it to do, with a support query answered the same day with a custom modification supplied. Great work!

Works like magic and easy to setup! This plugin replaced the radius based location page index on our site. Now making it super easy for a customer to find the best service location based on just inputting their zip code!
