Swap “email validation” and “email checker” for “verify email address” and “disposable”
“email validation” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #17. “verify email address” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “email checker” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “disposable” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

One page off on “email checker”
#12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

What we found
Review volume is thin
OpportunityOnly 13 ratings. A handful of reviews makes your star average fragile and weakens trust at install time.
What to do: Run a structured in-plugin review prompt and a review campaign.
Healthy but under-discovered
OpportunityThis plugin scores 86/100 on health yet sits at 500 installs. The product is good; distribution is the gap.
What to do: A WP Mayor review and placement can put it in front of the right audience.
Readme fails 1 of 8 AI readiness checks
OpportunityAI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: names who it is for. One audience phrase ("if you want"); say who the plugin is for and what they use it for.
What to do: Rewrite the readme so each failed check passes: say the job in the first line, answer real questions in the FAQ, name who it is for and what it works with, and use headings and lists. For the same check on your plugin's own website, run the free AI visibility scan from AgentVania.

Light support activity. Few recent support threads, so there is no backlog to report.
Actively maintained. Updated within the last quarter, a strong trust and ranking signal.
No open vulnerabilities recorded. No unpatched security advisory is recorded against this plugin.
