Biggest opportunity: Swap “sitemap”, “vimeo” and “youtube” for “google video”, “google sitemap” and “google sitemaps”. “sitemap” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “google video” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “vimeo” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “google sitemap” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “youtube” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “google sitemaps” sits at #21 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 500 of 49.6K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median SEO plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,191 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 4 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “sitemap”, “vimeo” and “youtube” for “google video”, “google sitemap” and “google sitemaps”. “sitemap” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “google video” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “vimeo” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “google sitemap” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “youtube” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “google sitemaps” sits at #21 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up.
