Biggest opportunity: Swap “import”, “migration” and “page export” for “export import”, “import properties” and “property import”. “import” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “export import” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “migration” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “import properties” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “page export” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “property import” sits at #14 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 →3.9%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 25.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Content & Feeds plugin keeps 0.8%, across 866 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Content & Feeds 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 30 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 “import”, “migration” and “page export” for “export import”, “import properties” and “property import”. “import” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “export import” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “migration” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “import properties” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “page export” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “property import” sits at #14 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 “page export”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Very easy to use and works great, also allows pulling over images on free tier unlike the big alternative plugins.

A number of great features have been added to improve the utility of this plugin. It is great for workflows using WP Studio and other locally hosted development tools. Posts can be pushed to a production, hosted site with images, SEO data, links, etc. The team is also very responsive to user requests.

I can only congratulate the guys on what they’ve accompliched with this plugin. It made transferring 3000+ posts and Lord knows how many more media files, for a site merger SO Easy. I cannot fault this Plugin, it is one of the best I have ever used. As for any Support issues, they are there when YOU need them and work so hard to resolve any issues, quickly and positively! Well done guys, you should be proud.

Small improvement for import export of media, maybe also add as second option json file import export for media, but i am not sure if that is possible since when i tried it i had issues with wordpress timing out because of how many files needed to be transfered.

Great plugin super easy to use for importing and exporting. Best ive used so far.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ kalvinkingsleymint1.1y ago
I was hesitant to try this plugin since it seems very new (less than 10 installations) and had no reviews. I installed it on a (small) site that had 10 posts that I wanted to easily copy over to a new site rather than copy/paste. The export was done immediately (JSON file) and the import took less than 30 seconds. Each post was copied over, along with the featured image from each post that had one. As it was a small export/import, I can’t attest to how well the plugin will work with larger sites, but I can tell you it was quick and easy and worked as expected.
