What we found
Update cadence is slipping
Needs workLast updated 20 months ago. Freshness is one of the strongest directory-ranking signals.

Rating below category benchmark
Needs workYour rating, weighted for review count, is 3.6★ and trails the Payments average of 3.7★.
What to do: Close the gap with targeted UX fixes and review recovery.
Readme fails 5 of 8 AI readiness checks
Needs workAI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: has a faq, faq asks real questions, names who it is for, names what it works with and headings and lists. No FAQ section.

Run the free AI visibility scan →Review volume is thin
OpportunityOnly 5 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.
Small download base. 445 downloads in 30 days, so a +28% move is a few installs rather than a trend.
Light support activity. Few recent support threads, so there is no backlog to report.
No open vulnerabilities recorded. No unpatched security advisory is recorded against this plugin.
