Biggest opportunity: Swap “suggestions” for “pre get posts”. “suggestions” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “pre get posts” sits at #5 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 100K of 1.8M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,766 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 2 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 “suggestions” for “pre get posts”. “suggestions” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “pre get posts” sits at #5 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 “suggestions”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

<div class="intelly-related-posts"> You can add so that the block is like this? There is unfortunately no unique content we can trigger. The style tag doesn’t have any id or attribute. This is very inconvenient for the site to work, if you exclude the insertion of advertising in this block.

The plugin’s great until my WordPress site started to crash frequently. Turns out, my WP_OPTIONS table grew because it was loaded with IRP_POSTs. Not using this anymore.

Bardzo fajna, słabo powiązuje posty raczej są losowe – ale przydatna jako zachęcenie do czytania innych treści. Łatnie też się prezentuje – szkoda że nie ma do ustawiania własnych kolorów w wersji darmowej – w sensie własny kod koloru.
