Biggest opportunity: “animation”, “hover box” and “wp plugin” 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 scoring works →

Not scored yet. Nobody has reviewed this plugin, so a grade would come from directory averages rather than from anything measured here.

Install conversion

How it's measured →

0.5%

of downloads still active

At least 10 of 2.1K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,765 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.

Directory rank

Ranked about #30,100 to #45,000, alongside the other plugins at 10+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.

Update activity

Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.

Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.

Readme readiness

1 of 8 pass · checked 30 Oct 2026

Can an assistant quote this readme? Eight deterministic checks over the wp.org listing, no model involved.

  • ! Says what it does Short description leans on hype words instead of saying what the plugin does.
  • ! Has a FAQ Only 2 questions in the FAQ; 3 or more gives an assistant something to match.
  • ! FAQ asks real questions 1 of 2 FAQ entries are headings, not questions ("A question that someone might have").
  • ! Names who it is for Never says who the plugin is for or what they use it for.
  • ! Names what it works with Names no plugin, service or platform it works with.
  • ✓ Headings and lists 2 headings and 2 lists.
  • ! Enough to quote 982 characters of description; under 1,000 there is little to quote.
  • ! Tags match the text Only 1 of 4 tags appear in the text ("hover box", "servicebox", "wp plugin" missing).
