Biggest opportunity: Swap “analytics”, “sitemap” and “seo” for “engine”, “coffee” and “search engine optimization”. “analytics” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “engine” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “sitemap” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “coffee” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “seo” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #16. “search engine optimization” sits at #7 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 →1.1%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 88.4K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Analytics plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,009 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Analytics 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 44 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
- Swap “analytics”, “sitemap” and “seo” for “engine”, “coffee” and “search engine optimization”. “analytics” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “engine” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “sitemap” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “coffee” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “seo” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #16. “search engine optimization” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “redirection”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “schema”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “seo”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

I like the ability to bulk analyze posts and products with the easy popup to alter/generate meta titles, integration of google analytics, speed and vitals are helpful. Could not find a way to add specific rules to go by generating SEO meta descriptions an titles.

does the job nicely so far 🙂

My thoughts on Jordy Meow’s SEO Engine…I’ve been testing out SEO Engine for my WooCommerce shop, and honestly, it’s exactly what I needed. Older SEO plugins have got way too noisy with constant notifications and massive menus. This one is super clean. What I love most is the AI context features… instead of just pointing out that an image alt tag or a meta snippet is missing, it actually helps you generate a smart fix right there on the spot. It plays nicely with my bulk spreadsheet editors too, which is huge for my workflow. Definitely worth a look if you’re tired of bloatware.

SEO Engine is a lightweight, bloat-free plugin that streamlines optimization
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Walter Viana10mo ago
SEO Engine is a masterpiece for WordPress website administrators. After just two days using the free version, I could feel the changes in search engines, making my website look exactly like professional websites. And I’ve been trying to achieve these results for years without success. As if by magic and with a few adjustments to the settings, within a few hours I began to notice the change in search engines. What is impressive about this plugin is that the changes are real, noticeable, and uncomplicated. Without having to become an SEO expert, the plugin does everything as selected in the options panel, and that’s it. In a few hours, your website will meet all SEO requirements and look professional in searches. No add-ons that don’t solve anything. With this plugin, you’ll put an end to your SEO frustrations. Just configure it as desired (an extremely simple and intuitive process) and that’s it! Your website will be meeting all the necessary requirements to be among the top positions in searches. I used the free version for two days and after seeing the results, I had no doubt whatsoever and bought the lifetime pro version. For years, I tried other SEO plugins and spent money on so-called “SEO-optimized” themes, but I gave up on SEO. I regretted investing in hyped plugins and removed everything from my website for five years. Now I’ve found this plugin, and my passion for optimization has gained new incentive and attention. Efficient and professional! Congratulations!

A fresh, AI-ready SEO beast built from scratch. No endless settings—just intuitive magic that makes Google smile, without wrestling bloated alligators. What I like most: Pure simplicity and speed. Lightweight, no bloat, clever AI suggestions, zero annoying upsells. Feels like a plugin that actually respects my site. What I like least: Still young, so missing some ultra-niche advanced features. I occasionally wish for one extra tweak, then remember I hate complicated plugins anyway. This topic was modified 6 months, 2 weeks ago by Ayran.

Just like the rest of the Meow Apps collection, this one does exactly what it has been designed for.Simple as that. A plugin doing its thing without bloat, barely even noticeable once set up. Great work, Jeordy and team! Keep it up.
