Main keywords, best position first

What to fix first

  1. 1

    Ship a compatibility release to reset the freshness signal.

    No update in 103 months. wp.org search heavily penalizes stale plugins, and users look for a recent release.

  2. 2

    Set "Tested up to" to WordPress 7.1

    Tested up to WordPress 4.9.35; the current branch is 7.1. Matching the current branch keeps its full search weight.

  3. 3

    Use all 5 tags

    1 of 5 tags set. Each tag is another search the plugin can match.

  4. 4

    Ask happy users for a review

    3 reviews so far. wp.org gives the rating more weight as the count grows past 25.

  5. 5

    One page off on “weaver plugins”

    #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

  6. 6

    Readme fails 8 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.

Readme fails 8 of 8 AI readiness checks

Needs work

AI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: says what it does, has a faq, faq asks real questions, names who it is for, names what it works with, headings and lists, enough to quote and tags match the text. 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.

Review volume is thin

Opportunity

Only 3 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. 130 downloads in 30 days, so a +39% 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.
