Biggest opportunity: Swap “multi page” for “multipage”. “multi page” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “multipage” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 900 of 52.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median SEO plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,194 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.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance 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 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.7.21.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| multipage | #15 | #8 | 0 |
| nextpage your tag | #16 | #11 | down 2 |
| multi page your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| seo your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| subpages your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| table of contents your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
6 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 2 listed. 4 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “multi page” for “multipage”. “multi page” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “multipage” sits at #15 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 “nextpage”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence

Works flawless! (wordpress 5.8) Thanks!

I successfully used this plugin on one post and I’m running WordPress 5.6.1. I’m now configuring the plugin for use on another post.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ zoltanthegypsy5.8y ago
Thanks for this. I use it often, and it works well. One suggestion, if I may… I tend to like the TOC at the bottom of the page. If a reader arrives at at the top of a sub page – via search perhaps – it isn’t immediately obvious how to find page 1. Would be nice if the title on each page was a link back to the introduction. Thanks again!

I had another pagination plugin ACP (Pagination For Posts), but it’s not supported anymore and stopped working properly. Multipage looks like perfect change. I only have to remove some old code (just one SQL request) and modify CSS a little (css didn’t work out yet, but I think I’ll manage it). Otherwise it’s all I need!

This plugin does what it claims without much fuss. Works like a charm. Thanks to the dev.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ elenktik8.3y ago
Thank you! Works charming. To make the size of the TOC box only as large as the content, and to highlight the current page, I would suggest to add this CSS to it 🙂 ul#toc{ display:table; border-radius: 5px; padding-bottom:5px; } ul#toc li.current a{ text-decoration:underline; color:#f29400; } This topic was modified 7 years, 11 months ago by elenktik.

Multipage is the best plugin for pagination, because it working well and it’s the only one that allows to create a useful and nice textual summary for splitted posts. And it’s free!!!
