Biggest opportunity: Swap “accessibility”, “alt text” and “image title” for “seo images”, “title attributes” and “seo friendly”. “accessibility” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “seo images” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “alt text” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “title attributes” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “image title” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #21. “seo friendly” sits at #13 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 →3.0%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 332.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median SEO plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,193 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 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.

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 “accessibility”, “alt text” and “image title” for “seo images”, “title attributes” and “seo friendly”. “accessibility” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “seo images” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “alt text” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “title attributes” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “image title” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #21. “seo friendly” sits at #13 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 “alt tag”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “image seo”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Good Plugin
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ anime4fans4.3y ago
I used the plugin on my onlineshop: 1. The Plugin didnt optimized all images 2. You dont get your money back (They offer a 15 days refund time, but you dont get the moeny!) 3. There is no email support – You dont get any reply. Use the free version. ———- Add: After I made this review, i got a support email. So i hope i will get the money back now.

Honestly this plugin is the best of the category! I made a point of coming here to be able to give 5 star to this plugin. It works like a charm, a magic! I installed it, then went to the permalink saved and then emptied the cache. I went to the site and I went to check the element in my page and READY! HE WAS FUNCTIONING LIKE A MAGIC !!! FROM FAR IT IS THE BEST! simple, lightweight, without many options to score, no headaches! FANTASTIC!

Quick and easy help from a good support-team.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Jason Robinson9.2y ago
I used the free version, and then paid for the Pro version to support WooCommerce. Works on anything coming through from the database (obviously does not work for images hard-coded in theme/templates). Took 2 sites from 100+ images missing alt tags to 0 in 5 minutes each. Worth the money.
