Biggest opportunity: “ai writer”, “email optin” and “quiz” 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.

1.2%

of downloads still active

At least 40 of 3.5K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median AI plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,015 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 10 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.

Directory rank

Ranked about #21,400 to #22,800, alongside the other plugins at 40+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 1 Nov 2026.

Update activity

Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.

Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.

Release cadence

Actively maintained

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

    Nuclear Engagement makes it easy to create interactive and engaging content directly within pre-existing material, which is especially worthwhile when you are trying to bring up old posts. I highly recommend the plugin for anyone looking to add interactivity to their blog without going overboard.

    I used to spend hours creating quizzes—writing questions, adding answers, and crafting feedback. Now, with Nuclear Engagement, it’s all on autopilot. The plugin is great! The design matches my site perfectly, and the content is high quality. Thanks for sharing this with the community. This topic was modified 11 months, 2 weeks ago by fonnex.

    I had wanted to add quizes and dot point summaries at the start of my blog for ages. but lacked the time and money as the others I had to pay to use the plugin and then still wait the quizes. for a website that has a couple hundred blogs this was not a thing I could do. saw this plugin on reddit and jumped onboard even before launch .

    I have 1200 posts. I’ve always dreaded the idea of updating each post manually with other quiz plugins I’ve tried. This one saved me weeks of work.
