Biggest opportunity: Swap “google”, “seo” and “yandex” for “crawling”, “deleted” and “crawl”. “google” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “crawling” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “seo” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “deleted” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “yandex” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “crawl” sits at #12 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 →12%
of downloads still active
At least 3K of 25.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median SEO plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,192 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.
This plugin shipped 12 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.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

What to do about it

Мой опыт использования После нескольких недель тестирования и активного использования плагина ReCrawler могу с уверенностью сказать — это один из самых полезных SEO-инструментов для WordPress, которые я встречал.Что сразу понравилось: 1. Мультиплатформенная поддержкаПлагин работает не только с Google Search Console, как многие аналоги, но и поддерживает: Яндекс.Вебмастер (очень важно для русскоязычного трафика) Bing Webmaster Tools (не забываем про поисковик Microsoft) Google Indexing API (для ускоренной индексации) 2. Автоматизация рутинных задачБольше не нужно вручную добавлять каждый новый URL в три разные панели вебмастеров. Плагин делает это автоматически при публикации или обновлении материалов. Экономия времени — колоссальная! 3. Простота настройкиНесмотря на кажущуюся сложность интеграции с Google Cloud, пошаговая инструкция позволяет настроить всё за 30-40 минут. Для Яндекса и Bing настройка вообще занимает 5 минут — просто добавляете API-ключи. Технические моменты: Стабильность: За 3 месяца — ни одного сбоя Совместимость: Работает со всеми популярными SEO-плагинами (Yoast, Rank Math) Производительность: Не нагружает сайт, отправки идут в фоновом режиме Особенности работы с разными поисковиками Google Search Console: Требует настройки сервисного аккаунта (самый сложный этап) Поддерживает как обычную отправку, так и ускоренную через Indexing API Детальная статистика в логах плагина Яндекс.Вебмастер: Настройка за 2 минуты Просто вставляете токен из кабинета Яндекс Работает стабильно, без лишних сложностей Bing Webmaster Tools: Самый простой в настройке API-ключ генерируется в два клика Подтверждение прав через файл на сайте Чего не хватает (пожелания разработчикам): Групповая отправка старых URL — сейчас только автоматика для новых материалов Встроенная аналитика — сколько URL отправлено, процент успешной индексации Поддержка更多 поисковиков — Baidu, Seznam и другие региональные системы Итоговые впечатления ReCrawler — это must-have плагин для любого серьезного WordPress-сайта. Особенно если вы работаете с международной аудиторией или русскоязычным трафиком. Кому рекомендую: Владельцам новостных сайтов и блогов Интернет-магазинам с часто обновляемым каталогом SEO-специалистам, ведущим несколько проектов Любому, кто хочет ускорить индексацию контента Вывод: Если вы до сих пор вручную добавляете URL в панели вебмастеров или используете плагины, которые работают только с Google — вы теряете время и потенциальный трафик. ReCrawler решает эту проблему раз и навсегда. P.S.: Настройка действительно требует внимательности (особенно с Google Cloud), но результат стоит того.

Hey there, fellow WordPress users! I recently gave the “ReCrawler” plugin a whirl, and I gotta say, it’s pretty nifty. This little gem works hand in hand with IndexNow to help get your site noticed faster by search engines. Now, I won’t bore you with tech jargon. Here’s the deal: ReCrawler is a small plugin that does its job without fuss. Do you know how some plugins can be a real headache to set up? Well, not this one. I installed it, and boom—it was ready to roll. There was no messing around with complicated settings or scratching my head trying to figure out what was what. The best part? It just works. I didn’t run into any issues or weird glitches. It’s like one of those set-it-and-forget-it kind of deals. Once it’s up and running, you can leave it alone to do its thing. If you’re looking to give your site a little boost in getting noticed by search engines without breaking a sweat, ReCrawler might be worth checking out. It’s simple, straightforward, and gets the job done. What more could you ask for in a WordPress plugin? This topic was modified 1 year, 7 months ago by skeeterseatery.
