Biggest opportunity: “artificial intelligence”, “machine learning” and “related” 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.

0.7%

of downloads still active

At least 10 of 1.4K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,769 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 1 release 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 #30,100 to #45,000, alongside the other plugins at 10+ 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 21 Oct 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

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

    I try several “recommend related posts” plug-ins but they all need manual linking between posts. This is the first i have seen to be all automatic. Wonderful. It work with all my articles too even if some are videos or photo galleries. The neural network graph is very interesting to see the brain grow and more visitors. I recommend and will add to my other site too. EDIT: If you have search on your site, switch on “Strip all GET variables” if you do not need them. This will stop searches showing in the URL list. I forgot this first time.

    Looked complicated at first but not really. I only needed to enter a couple of things and turn it on. The graphs are very cool and also show visitor counts for every blog article. Smarter than other recommending post plugins. This doesnt need me to manually add links between posts. It is all automatic from visitors viewing the site. I have been using it since beta version and its saved me lots of time. A+++
