Critical

wp.org search heavily penalizes stale plugins, and users look for a recent release.

What to do: Ship a compatibility release to reset the freshness signal.

Readme fails 1 of 8 AI readiness checks

Opportunity

AI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: names who it is for. Never says who the plugin is for or what they use it for.

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.
