HostList › Plugins › Trending Trending WordPress plugins HostList Trending WordPress Plugins surfaces momentum from daily WordPress.org snapshots. The lead table ranks exact daily downloads over the last seven days. A secondary table shows install-bucket movers (HostList rank is by active-install bucket only, so within-bucket order rarely changes). Download change uses the clean wp_plugin_downloads series, not cumulative totals. Active installs remain WordPress.org buckets. This page routes plugin-intent traffic into HostList hosting guidance. No plugin vendor can pay to appear here.
