Biggest opportunity: Swap “ai alt text” and “alt text” for “alt text generator” and “bulk alt text”. “ai alt text” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “alt text generator” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “alt text” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “bulk alt text” sits at #23 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →0.6%
of downloads still active
At least 30 of 4.9K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median AI plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,012 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other AI plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 4 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

I’m surprised that someone could give 5 stars to this plugin, even though the signup process doesn’t work, nor through Google, nor by email.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ tigermedia3.1y ago
A great little tool that saves a huge amount of time sorting out your image ALT tags. I got this installed on several sites to update thousands of images.
