Biggest opportunity: Swap “hotspots”, “image map” and “interactive image” for “image mapping”, “infographics” and “mapping”. “hotspots” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “image mapping” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “image map” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “infographics” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “interactive image” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “mapping” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up.

of downloads still active
At least 20 of 849 lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,771 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ crispybran7mo ago
Out of the box, it is extremely basic. It has potential, but I suspect it is not getting a lot of uses as it is either new or to simple. You can only add visual markers to your image and those markers pop up information if you hover or click. It isn’t a traditional mapping where you define a clickable region and define the action (like opening another page). The markers are not reliably mapped either. Where you place them when editing is not necessarily where they will show up on the actual page. Needs work on reliable and consistent positioning. Needs work. Has potential.
