What we found
Update cadence is slipping
Needs workLast updated 14 months ago. Freshness is one of the strongest directory-ranking signals.
What to do: Get back on a visible release cadence, even minor releases.
Downloads are cooling
Needs work30-day download momentum is -24% while the Uncategorized category median is +7%. The decline is steeper than the market, which points at something plugin-specific.
What to do: A coordinated content + outreach push can re-ignite installs.
Readme fails 3 of 8 AI readiness checks
Needs workAI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: says what it does, names who it is for and headings and lists. Short description names no action; say what the plugin does for the site.
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.

OpportunityOnly 4 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.
