Slug Automator

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   パーマリンクに日本語タイトルがそのまま入ってしまうのをやめられるプラグイン。サイトによってはスラッグのかわりに数字を使っているところも見かけますが、SEO的にも意味のあるURLであるほうがいいはずなので、とても便利だと思いました。

   Why hasn’t there been a plugin like this until now? (Well, it’s because AI connectors didn’t exist yet…) This is exactly what everyone, especially non-English speaking users, has been looking for. Simply by enabling this, messy slugs become beautiful. If you don’t like the result, you can try again with the regenerate button. You no longer need to use ID-based permalinks just to have clean slugs. Non-English speakers don’t have to struggle with manual translations anymore either. It is an incredibly simple and powerful plugin. I highly recommend everyone give it a try. You will probably want to install it on every single one of your sites.
