What we found

1 to fix 2 opportunity 1 market context 2 strengths
!

Downloads are cooling

Needs work

30-day download momentum is -18% while the Blocks category median is +7%. 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.

↗

Review volume is thin

Opportunity

Only 6 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.

↗

Readme fails 2 of 8 AI readiness checks

Opportunity

AI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: names who it is for and tags match the text. One audience phrase ("perfect for"); say who the plugin is for and 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.
