Downloads are cooling

Needs work

30-day download momentum is -40% while the Booking & Events category median is +4%. The decline is steeper than the market, which points at something plugin-specific.

Readme fails 1 of 8 AI readiness checks

Opportunity

AI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: says what it does. 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.
