Update cadence is slipping

Needs work

Last updated 9 months ago. Freshness is one of the strongest directory-ranking signals.

What to do: Get back on a visible release cadence, even minor releases.

↗

Review volume is thin

Opportunity

Only 9 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

Opportunity

This plugin scores 81/100 on health yet sits at 2,000 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.

≈

Small download base. 504 downloads in 30 days, so a +33% move is a few installs rather than a trend.

≈

Light support activity. Few recent support threads, so there is no backlog to report.

✓

No open vulnerabilities recorded. No unpatched security advisory is recorded against this plugin.

✓

Readme is easy for AI assistants to quote. All 8 readiness checks pass: a plain summary, a real FAQ, named audiences and integrations, quotable structure. For the same check on your plugin's own website, run the free AI visibility scan from AgentVania. Run the free AI visibility scan →
