What we found

2 critical 2 opportunity
✕

Open security vulnerability

Critical

A known unpatched vulnerability is recorded against this plugin.

What to do: Patch and release an advisory before anything else.

✕

Likely abandoned

Critical

No update in 72 months. wp.org search heavily penalizes stale plugins, and users avoid them.

What to do: Ship a compatibility release to reset the freshness signal.

↗

Review volume is thin

Opportunity

Only 11 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 names what it works with. One audience phrase ("if you want"); 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.
