Where it ranks in wp.org search
Main keywords, best position first
- #19 viet nam
- #19 vietnam checkout for woocommerce Down 4
- #20 vietnam checkout Down 2
Tags still to break into the top 24: checkout, shipping, shop.
What to fix first
- 1
Ship a compatibility release to reset the freshness signal.
No update in 73 months. wp.org search heavily penalizes stale plugins, and users look for a recent release.
- 2
Set "Tested up to" to WordPress 7.1
Tested up to WordPress 5.5.24; the current branch is 7.1. Matching the current branch keeps its full search weight.
- 3
Swap “checkout” for “viet nam”
“checkout” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “viet nam” sits at #19 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Readme fails 4 of 8 AI readiness checks
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.

What to do: Ship a compatibility release to reset the freshness signal.
Readme fails 4 of 8 AI readiness checks
Needs workAI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: says what it does, has a faq, faq asks real questions and names who it is for. 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.
Run the free AI visibility scan →Review volume is thin
OpportunityOnly 20 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. 124 downloads in 30 days, so a -16% 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.
