Biggest opportunity: “on page seo”, “schema” 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.

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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| on page seo your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| schema your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| seo your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| structured data your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| xml sitemaps your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
12 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 12 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank
Ranked about #50,200 to #69,500, alongside the other plugins with fewer than 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 1 Nov 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
Actively maintainedHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

This plugin has everything you need to build strong site SEO without having TOO many features. While there are a lot of customizatino options, the plugin screens aren’t too overpacked and the plugin seems to be lightweight and doesn’t bog down servers). Minimal setup to get going with Sitemap, Schema, and tags. Jump Links Block in the editor is a time-saving feature.
