Likely abandoned

Critical

No update in 29 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 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.

Strong momentum. Downloads are accelerating (+75% vs prior month). Good moment to amplify.
