Biggest opportunity: Swap “schema” and “sitemap” for “seo automation” and “generative engine optimization”. “schema” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “seo automation” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “sitemap” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “generative engine optimization” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

0.5%

of downloads still active

At least 30K of 5.6M lifetime downloads are still running, below 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 11 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.
