What we found

1 critical 1 opportunity 2 market context 1 strengths
✕

Likely abandoned

Critical

No update in 109 months. wp.org search heavily penalizes stale plugins, and users avoid them.

What to do: Ship a compatibility release to reset the freshness signal.

↗

Review volume is thin

Opportunity

Only 16 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.

≈

Small download base. 87 downloads in 30 days, so a -68% 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.
