Biggest opportunity: “idx”, “real estate” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 10 of 4.4K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median SEO plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,192 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 9+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.6.30, well behind 6.8.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| seorets your tag | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| rets your tag | #10 | #13 | up 2 |
| idx feed | #21 | #20 | 0 |
| idx your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| real estate your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| seo your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
7 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 3 listed. 4 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

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
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Amazing!!! Just love this. I was one of the first converts to SEO RETs. I am probably one of the few Realtors/ Web developers they have. I and my IT developer friend researched EVERY single IDX product and vendor in the market place for probably 6 months. My business partner IT buddy did all the technical questions, because I am not near as knowledgeable as him – We quickly realized SEO RETS was hands down the BEST product of it’s kind for agents to have properties and search features on a website. It’s the only truly customizable, simple to use (almost anyone), full featured RETs IDX feed product on the market. I have three sites running it currently.. , , and . That’s how good it is.. To be completely honest, mine are really customized with CSS I designed, and you’ll need a developer to do the design for you, but adding pages, and posts with properties is cake.
