Biggest opportunity: “accessibility”, “ai” and “image alt text” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →0.7%
of downloads still active
At least 10 of 1.4K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median AI plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,009 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 7 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.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| accessibility your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| ai your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| image alt text your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| image compression your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| image optimization your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

I’ve been using Altomatic on my own site and on a few of my client sites, and it’s been awesome. It automatically optimizes my images and even adds alt text to images using AI, which has saved us hours of manual work and helps a ton with accessibility compliance. Also great for improving image SEO without having to think about it. Simple to install and just works. Highly recommend if you want to make your site more accessible and search-friendly without extra effort.
