Standing

More installed than 99.9% of the directory

Ahead of 47,701 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.

99.9% Percentile by installs Among plugins that report an install count
47,701 Plugins it is ahead of Fewer active installs than this one
27 Plugins ahead of it More active installs, or the same published band
How to read that

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.
