What we found
Open security vulnerability
CriticalA known unpatched vulnerability is recorded against this plugin.
What to do: Patch and release an advisory before anything else.
Readme fails 1 of 8 AI readiness checks
OpportunityAI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: tags match the text. Only 2 of 5 tags appear in the text ("addons", "css effects", "elementor widget" missing).
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.
