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.
Update cadence is slipping
Needs workLast updated 18 months ago. Freshness is one of the strongest directory-ranking signals.
What to do: Get back on a visible release cadence, even minor releases.
Downloads are cooling
Needs work30-day download momentum is -41% while the Admin & Utilities category median is 0%. The decline is steeper than the market, which points at something plugin-specific.
What to do: A coordinated content + outreach push can re-ignite installs.
Review volume is thin
OpportunityOnly 4 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.
