Biggest opportunity: Swap “attachment” for “renamer”. “attachment” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “renamer” sits at #4 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 →0.7%
of downloads still active
At least 30 of 4K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,319 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Media 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 1 release 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.

Le plugin permet de s’éviter de trop réfléchir au SEO des médias téléversés. Mais il faut quand même avoir réfléchi au nom de l’image avant le téléversement, c’est mieux. Dommage qu’on ne puisse pas changer le nom du fichier en cours de route, même si c’est compréhensible pour éviter les liens cassés.

Le plugin joue entièrement son rôle. Il est très facile de renommer ses fichiers. Il ne faut pas oublier que c’est automatique, et donc que ça se fait pour tous les fichiers… Si on veut éviter de renommer un fichier en particulier, il faut penser à désactiver le renommage avant, mais ça se fait en un clic. Merci !
