Biggest opportunity: “accessibility”, “alt text” and “images” 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.

0.5%

of downloads still active

At least 10 of 2K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median SEO plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,198 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other SEO 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 3 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.

    Better than copy-pasting my images names as “alternative-text”

    C’est vraiment très intéressant ! L’extension permet de gagner du temps sur les “alt”, souvent fait à la va vite ou oublier.

    Un plugin assez cool qui m’a permit de gagner pas mal de temps dans la génération des métadata de mes images ! Quelques clicks et toutes mes images étaient nickel en terme de textes alternatifs et titres, plus rien n’était nommés basiquement “sans titre 1. 2.3” etc… :’) Quelques minutes et hop !

    I run a small online store and I’ve always struggled with adding alt text to all my product images. It was just so time-consuming! Then I found this ForVoyez plugin and wow, what a difference! It’s not perfect – sometimes the descriptions are a bit off, but it’s still way better than what I was doing before (which was basically nothing).If you have a WordPress site with lots of images, I’d definitely recommend giving this plugin a try. It’s made my life so much easier!
