* Install totals add plugin-level bucket floors; they are not unique websites.
Data sources & how this ranking works
Each active plugin is credited once to its stored WordPress.org listed-author profile URL. Profiles are normalized by username; duplicate plugin slugs are counted once. This is not verified ownership. Contributors and shared authorship are not inferred or split between people: this mirror does not provide a complete contributor mapping. Plugins without a valid listed-author profile are excluded. Install totals sum reported bucket floors across plugins, not unique websites; the same site may use several plugins. Downloads include updates and repeat downloads. Portfolio icons link to up to three of each author’s most installed plugins.
