What we found
No update in 47 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.
Rating below category benchmark
Needs workYour rating, weighted for review count, is 3.6★ and trails the Blocks average of 3.8★.
What to do: Close the gap with targeted UX fixes and review recovery.
Review volume is thin
OpportunityOnly 6 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.
Readme fails 2 of 8 AI readiness checks
OpportunityAI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: headings and lists and enough to quote. 0 headings and 0 lists; assistants quote headed sections and bullet lists, not paragraphs.
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.
