Biggest opportunity: Swap “links” and “seo” for “internal link” and “link suggestions”. “links” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “internal link” sits at #7 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. “link suggestions” sits at #16 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 →19%
of downloads still active
At least 7K of 36.1K 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.
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.

This plugin is awesome, our dev is very happy with it for our website, it’s one of the few plugin that doesn’t slow down the website despite a huge database of several thousands of links, and the support is great (this plugin offers a lot of useful tools like automated links associated to keywords, bulk import and so on)

the plugin is decidedly complete and adapts to various needs. Excellent assistance (even in Italian) and great availability.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ chiefllama3.8y ago
It doesn’t consider the juice of the linking pages. Each page just divides 1,000 juice by the number of links it has. For example, a cornerstone page linked in the home page with 10,000 juice of its own that links to five pages gives them 200 juice each. But a random article that’s 5 clicks from the home page with only 1 link to it and 10 juice of its own will pass 1,000 juice to a page it links to. You can give certain pages more juice to pass in the page editor, but if you have to manually update and track that, the plugin is kind of pointless since it’s not doing much different than counting links like Yoast or other plugins.
