Trending WordPress Plugins (October 2026)

Updated October 26, 2026 · Computed from daily WordPress.org snapshots. How this works

Fastest growing by downloads

Downloads in the last 30 days against the 30 before, weighted by volume so small plugins with a lucky week do not top the list. Plugins under 500 downloads a month are left out.

Growth needs 60 days of daily snapshots to compare one month against the one before. This list opens on November 3, 2026.
