Biggest opportunity: “json ld”, “rich snippets” and “schema” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 6K of 35.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median SEO plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,194 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.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 4+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.9.20.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| json ld your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| rich snippets your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| schema your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| schema.org your tag | Not checked yet | ||
| seo your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “json ld”, “rich snippets” and “schema” 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.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.
Estimated active installs
The public count shows “6K+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band yesterday and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 7K.

If you have dropped this plugin and are not planning to update it. Could you please let us know. It is the decent thing to do.

Works well, expect the title is a H2 tag and the questions are H3 tags. This is no good for adding a couple of Qs on a big page as you wouldn’t want to devalue the benefit of the real H2 tag/s.Better it would be H3/H4, or even better would be to let us choose. Otherwise this is a nice free plugin, thanks.

Despite having to unload CSS and Javascript from loading on the front end when choosing to add FAQ Schema but not have FAQ displayed on posts/pages…I still have to give the plugin 5 Stars for User Interface and ease of use. Hats off to the developer. Really nice plugin!

Not been updated for ages, support not responding in the support forum and I have used this plugin for a full year now without FAQ schema ever being displayed in Serp despite very strong domain authority.

Just install and enjoy.

Thanks for this great plugin! It would be really cool if one could create a FAQ that includes list items and images for display when a user visits the site, however, which is removed in the question-markup sent to Google. I guess that there isn’t support for images etc in the SERP with FAQ (JSON-LD)?
