What we found

3 to fix 1 opportunity

Update cadence is slipping

Needs work

Last updated 8 months ago. Freshness is one of the strongest directory-ranking signals.

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

Rating below category benchmark

Needs work

Your adjusted 3.62★ trails the Media average of 3.81★.

What to do: Close the gap with targeted UX fixes and review recovery.

Readme fails 5 of 8 AI readiness checks

Needs work

AI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: has a faq, faq asks real questions, names who it is for, headings and lists and tags match the text. No FAQ section.

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.

Review volume is thin

Opportunity

Only 20 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.
