More installed than 85.6% of the directory
Ahead of 40,835 of the 47,729 plugins that report an install count at all. An install figure on its own says nothing; this is what it is worth.
The directory rounds install counts hard and publishes them as bands, so two plugins showing the same number are not necessarily level. The percentile is computed over the plugins that report a count at all, which excludes the quarter of the directory sitting on the reporting floor.
