Biggest opportunity: Swap “accessibility” for “bulk alt text”. “accessibility” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “bulk alt text” sits at #24 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 →3.0%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 3.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median AI plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,010 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 8 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.

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.

It improves image visibility in Google searches and provides keyword suggestions, making it easier for me to create SEO content. This topic was modified 5 months, 3 weeks ago by just.yupi.

This plugin automatically adds alt text as soon as I upload images nicely, and the setup is really easy. I also like that I can use custom prompts to add my own touch, which makes the generated alt text feel more natural and relevant.

I love that this plugin requires no API key or complex coding. I literally just installed it and it started working. The ‘set and forget’ automated mode is a game changer for my workflow. It’s rare to find a tool this powerful that is also this easy to use.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Peter M.10mo ago
Plugin was very easy to set up and very easy to use. It allows you to add a bit of prompt text in the plugin options, which is useful. The output is quite heavily based on the key words you enter for the job, which means that for bulk jobs the texts are all a little samey, so it pays to generate texts in smaller image batches, one set per page or topic. It would be interesting to get this reading the content of the page on which the image appears and using that to add better context and relevance to each desciption, though I assume that would increase the complexity and probably cost of the job. Overall, a simple and useful plugin that potentially saves you a lot of time.
