Biggest opportunity: “ai”, “chatgpt” and “mcp” 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.

2.6%

of downloads still active

At least 200 of 7.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median AI plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,009 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other AI 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 43 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.

Crossed into this band yesterday and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 200.

    I’ve been using Siteskite for a few months now. It’s fairly new, but the experience so far has been great. It makes backups, updates, security, installation, and reporting to your clients a breeze. It integrates with APIs and is very fast. A single dashboard gives you a complete overview of your websites and any issues, and you can log in directly, etc. I highly recommend it.

    I have been using SiteSkite since its release, and whilst there have been a few minor issues along the way (many simply due to my hosting), the developer has been the most responsive you could hope for. Actively pursuing me for information to resolve any problems and checking in on how things are working. He’s also keen to take on board suggestions I have put forward for future features. I’m currently managing over 40 sites on the platform and it’s making their management so much smoother, and is improving literally every week.

    I have been using SiteSkite for several months. The overall experience is quite good. I know it’s pretty new compared with other tools. But since I got it, it has released a lot of new features and is keeping improving. I give a few examples below. All WP management tools on the market have an uptime monitor. But perhaps only SiteSkite offers a domain expiration checker. I suggested this feature to the team. They really listened and added it 2 weeks later. It includes a Sandbox/Blueprint feature, which I really like very much. It’s like InstaWP or a cloud version of LocalWP. The testing WP development environment is very fast and handy. I used MainWP and WP Umbrella before. MainWP is self-hosted and depends on a lot of 3rd-party addons. It made me frustrated to deal with numerous issues when I used it. And I don’t think it’s a good idea to manage other WP sites using another WP site. WP Umbrella, a SaaS tool, is not bad, but it is just too simple and the development of new features seems stale. SiteSkite is also affordable. The product team deserves my respect. I recommend it to WP agencies or small business owners who run web design studios.

    I am using SiteSkite for some time, I like almost all of it functions specially backing up data on my own cloud drives, issue detection but the most capable features this plugin have is recovering your site without changing any codebase or wp acesss. Also I like their recently launched feature of managing the siteskite by using AI (claude or GPT). I do recommend SiteSkite to manage the wordpress website, it will make your life easier.

    Awesome WP Backup and Management Tool for Solo Users and Agencies.You can see the quality of a product when you need support.And the support was extremely responsive and fast, after I had some problems creating backups. I like the possibility to use my own backup targets/clouds.Also the Vulnerability scanner and site performance test are very helpful features. Backups are necessary and you will sleep better with a plugin like SiteSkite 🙂

    As someone managing multiple client websites, SiteSkite is a breath of fresh air. The bulk update feature works flawlessly, and the ‘BYO Cloud’ backup option gives me total peace of mind knowing I own my data on Google Drive or S3. The interface is modern, fast, and doesn’t feel bloated at all. One of my favorite features is the automated reporting. It generates detailed logs of exactly how much work I’ve done on the website, which makes billing and showing value to my clients so much easier. Most importantly, the support is top-tier. Even the CEO jumps in to help if you run into a problem! They truly listen to their users I’ve asked for custom options several times, and most of them were actually available in the very next update. If you want a professional, scalable way to manage your sites with a team that actually cares, this is it.
