Biggest opportunity: “image sitemap”, “sitemap” and “sitemap image” 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 400 of 13.2K 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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 11+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.0.38, well behind 6.8.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| image sitemap your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| sitemap your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| sitemap image your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| xml sitemap 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.

There is the only option this plugin provides is to generate an image sitemap. There is no control over excluding any image or URL. If you running a website with multiple status pages just like 302, no-index pages, etc. this plugin used to add all images and as a result, you got a lot of errors in the Google Search Console.

It’s such an amazing plugin! This is probably the only free image sitemap plugin that works with woocommerce! Great job, guys!

Tried a few image sitemap plugins, and this one did exactly what you’d expect – simply generates an XML sitemap of all images in the site. Nice plugin.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ APTM10.7y ago
Seems to work great, just submitted to Google Webmaster Tools, let’s see the results.. Right now I have only 5 images indexed from the 129 submitted with Yoast. As stated by Yoast: https://yoast.com/image-seo/ We don’t generate these in our plugin.. Adding images to your XML sitemaps help Google index your images, so be sure to do so for better image SEO.

I have Yoast but none of my images seem to be indexing with that plugin. Udrina got good reviews but gave me a blank site map. This one did the trick. Submitted to Google and images started indexing right away. If you want to checkout the output, here’s what the sitemap looks like: https://hikingguy.com/sitemap-image.xml
