What we found

1 critical 1 opportunity

Likely abandoned

Critical

No update in 33 months. wp.org search heavily penalizes stale plugins, and users avoid them.

Recommended: Ship a compatibility release to reset the freshness signal.

Review volume is thin

Opportunity

Only 18 ratings. A handful of reviews makes your star average fragile and weakens trust at install time.

Recommended: Run a structured in-plugin review prompt and a review campaign.
