Biggest opportunity: Swap “image seo”, “schema markup” and “image xml sitemaps” for “parallel”, “text generator” and “alt text”. “image seo” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “parallel” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “schema markup” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “text generator” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “image xml sitemaps” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “alt text” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 400 of 14.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median AI plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,016 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other AI 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 15 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.

Efficient and reliable. ImgSEO bulk‑generates accurate alt text and renames image files without slowing WordPress down, making accessibility compliance much easier. The AI’s context analysis keeps descriptions relevant, and the interface is straightforward. Solid plugin, nice support! It is free for small websites.

A plugin that marries certified accessibility (European Accessibility Act) with top-tier SEO performance: not only does it adhere to European standards for users with disabilities, but it also propels your site to the top of search results. This plugin is so helpful, well-constructed and smart that now I can’t even image working without it! I purchased a pack to support the plugin’s development and to receive additional credits for a better experience. I strongly recommend ImgSEO to everyone!
