What to fix first
- 1
Ship an update
Last release was 570 days ago. wp.org lowers a listing's search weight once it goes about 180 days without a release.
- 2
Set "Tested up to" to WordPress 7.1
Tested up to WordPress 6.7.11; the current branch is 7.1. Matching the current branch keeps its full search weight.
- 3
Slipping on “table of contents”
Down 6 places since 2026-08-09, now #16. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- 4
wp.org puts you #24; on merit you place #7. The plugins above you are winning on install count, not on rating or upkeep.
- 5
“links”, “navigation” and “seo” aren't earning a slot
You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.
