What we found
Update cadence is slipping
Needs workLast updated 12 months ago. Freshness is one of the strongest directory-ranking signals.
What to do: Get back on a visible release cadence, even minor releases.
Healthy but under-discovered
OpportunityThis plugin scores 77/100 on health yet sits at 4,000 installs. The product is good; distribution is the gap.
What to do: A WP Mayor review and placement can put it in front of the right audience.
Strong momentum. Downloads are accelerating (+70% vs prior month). Good moment to amplify.
