Reading the movement columns

▲ means the item climbed positions compared with the snapshot 1, 7 or 30 days ago, ▼ means it fell and ▬ means no change. new means it was not in the tracked set at that time.

Directory popularity vs. real-world usage

WordPress.org installs only count sites that report back to WordPress.org. Real-world usage counts detected live sites and is a better signal for premium products.

Frequently asked questions

How is the plugin ranking calculated?

Plugins are ordered by WordPress.org popularity, which follows active installs.

Why do some plugins jump suddenly?

Install brackets are rounded, so crossing a threshold looks like a big jump.

Are premium plugins included?

No — premium plugins have their own ranking based on live sites.

How often does the ranking change?

Every day.
