Biggest opportunity: “post quick edit” and “seo” 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.

6.3%

of downloads still active

At least 800 of 12.6K 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

63/100

Maintenance 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 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.35, well behind 6.8.

    I don’t understand why Yoast doesn’t add this feature to their plugin. But thank you for creating it! Saves me lots of time!

    This plugin just removes all my Yoast informations when I try to update using the “Quick edit” mode. I just lost a lot of time … This topic was modified 8 years, 1 month ago by piefolle.

    This plugin works great. It was perfect for what I needed allowing me to update the Yoast SEO Title, Description and Focus keyword on all my pages from one convenient location: the Pages Dashboard screen. Rather than having to go in to edit each page individually. A real timesaver!a I highly recommend this plugin.
