Update cadence is slipping

Needs work

What to do: Get back on a visible release cadence, even minor releases.

Readme fails 3 of 8 AI readiness checks

Needs work

AI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: says what it does, names what it works with and tags match the text. Short description names no action; say what the plugin does for the site.

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.

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.
