What we found
No update in 58 months
Criticalwp.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.
Review volume is thin
OpportunityOnly 9 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. 177 downloads in 30 days, so a +69% 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.
