Biggest opportunity: Swap “search console”, “seo” and “xml sitemap” for “booster”, “serp preview” and “serp”. “search console” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “booster” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “seo” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “serp preview” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “xml sitemap” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “serp” sits at #13 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 →2.1%
of downloads still active
At least 900 of 42.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median SEO plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,193 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.

I installed the plugin, because I don`t want to look at every side for any meta words or something like that. This tool recognize any acitivity on my website and post changes to google and so on. It is a good and useful tool. No work anymore. No wasting time with adding metas and so on.
