Biggest opportunity: “crawler management”, “disable sitemaps” and “woocommerce filters” 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.

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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| crawler management your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| disable sitemaps your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| woocommerce filters your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| xml sitemap your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
3 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 3 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ lori307mo ago
We’ve been using this for a few weeks and it’s made a real difference. Our site stays fast, indexing isnoticeably better, and setup was pretty painless. Really happy with how well-optimized it is. One thing that would be amazing in a future update: AI-powered features for smarter sitemap managementand security. Like auto-generating robots.txt rules based on crawl patterns, or intelligent scraper detectionand blocking. We’ve been dealing with aggressive scrapers lately and having that built-in would save a tonof time. Solid tool, definitely recommend it if you’re serious about your site’s SEO.
