What is BlogWings?

BlogWings is a daily tracker for the WordPress ecosystem. Every morning we capture the public WordPress.org directory — position, active installs and downloads for every listed theme and plugin — and store it as a snapshot.

Comparing snapshots shows you movement over 1, 7 and 30 days, which is far more useful than a single install bracket. Premium products are ranked separately by detected live sites.

Two catalogs, one ecosystem

Themes move slowly: a site has exactly one active theme, so installs are sticky and the top of the list rarely changes.

Plugins move fast: a typical site runs 20+ plugins, new categories appear every year and a single feature launch can push a plugin up an entire bracket.

Beyond the rankings

Deeper tools built on the same daily data.
