✕

Unusually few reviews for its size

Critical

800K+ installs but only 268 reviews (2.7★ from those who did review). Plugins bundled with a host, shipped alongside a parent product, or installed once and never thought about again all show this shape. Read the ratio as a question, not a verdict.

What to do: Watch the surge: sustained growth with improving reviews clears this flag.

!

Downloads are cooling

Needs work

30-day download momentum is -17% while the eCommerce category median is +3%. The decline is steeper than the market, which points at something plugin-specific.

What to do: A coordinated content and outreach push can re-ignite installs.

!

Support backlog

Needs work

Only 14% of recent support threads are resolved. Unanswered threads erode ratings and search position.

What to do: Tighten support SLAs and seed a stronger knowledge base.

!

Rating below category benchmark

Needs work

Your rating, weighted for review count, is 2.8★ and trails the eCommerce average of 3.8★.

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

Readme fails 2 of 8 AI readiness checks

Opportunity

AI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: names who it is for and headings and lists. Never says who the plugin is for or 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.
