Biggest opportunity: Add “rewrites”, “so” and “blog posts” to your wp.org tags. You rank #13, #21 and #23 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 3 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 600 of 15.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,766 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 2 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.

It is definitely a great plugin that helps to automate things saving a lot of time thanks to Jacky.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Ed Shway2.5y ago
Works great. More importantly for me is that Jacky Chou is behind it, since I’ve been on the fence about reviving content this way.

Great plugin to keep your content fresh for the Google algorithm.

Great Idea, Works great
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ daoist2.6y ago
This is a great plugin to try with helping your SEO. I already did editing blog posts manually every month, and it took a lot out of me, so for smaller sites which need editing constantly or reviving a website that hasn’t been updated in a while, this is a good way to go.
