Biggest opportunity: Swap “crawling” and “live streaming” for “math” and “competition”. “crawling” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “math” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “live streaming” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “competition” sits at #17 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 →7.7%
of downloads still active
At least 200K of 2.6M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,765 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “crawling” and “live streaming” for “math” and “competition”. “crawling” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “math” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “live streaming” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “competition” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “crawling”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Hello, I’m reaching out because I’ve been seeing a persistent error on my WordPress site whenever I activate your plugin. The error message is as follows: Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the fast-indexing-api domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in -----\wp-includes\functions.php on line 6121 I’ve noticed that this message only appears when the fast-indexing-api plugin is active. When I deactivate it, the error goes away completely. Based on what I’ve read, it seems the issue is related to how and when the plugin loads its translations. Could you please let me know if there’s a recommended solution or workaround for this issue? I’d also appreciate any information about whether a fix will be included in an upcoming update of the plugin. Thanks in advance for your help!

The submission is a sham. There’s no real interaction between Google and the link; you only receive a green message confirming the action, but in reality, nothing has happened. The links have not been, and will not be, indexed.

Hello, I’m using in a composer based WordPress stack and I’m having issues with with your plugin dependencies. Choosing Composer in the context of a WordPress plugin implies certain prerequisites and responsabilities. You have three (unique) solutions: Provide your plugin without autoload/vendor via Composer (as Yoast or ACF do) so that a WordPress project managed with Composer (which is very often the case on “pro” sites using Bedrock or equivalent stacks) is aware of your dependencies/constraints and can warn the user of a compatibility problem or manage the constraints of other dependencies (the whole point of a dependency manager). Prefix your dependencies (for example, with Yoast), which allows you to isolate your dependencies (by automatically modifying their namespace – PHPScoper does this very well) and avoid conflicts. You may provide a bundled plugin, but composing it should only be used for its autoload functionality (no dependencies). Your plugin is using very popular dependencies (Monolog, Guzzle) that may conflict with a user based installation or another plugin. If you intend to use external dependencies, please do it the right way. This topic was modified 1 year, 10 months ago by Nicolas Lemoine.
