Biggest opportunity: Swap “content optimization” for “lost”. “content optimization” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “lost” sits at #10 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 →1.0%
of downloads still active
At least 10 of 1K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median SEO plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,195 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 8 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| lost | #10 | #21 | down 1 |
| content optimization your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| search analytics your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| search query your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| seo your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| user behavior your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
5 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 4 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it

Directory rank
Ranked about #30,400 to #44,800, alongside the other plugins at 10+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 1 Nov 2026.
Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence

Very simple plugin, but does the job well. It shows what people are searching for but not finding — which is really helpful. Gave me a few good ideas for new content right away. No setup, no bloat. Just install and it works. Clean interface, easy to understand. If you care about improving your site content, this is definitely worth trying
