Biggest opportunity: Swap “recipe” for “json”. “recipe” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “json” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
Install conversion
How it's measured →8.0%
of downloads still active
At least 30K of 377K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,784 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

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.

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

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
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.

What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin · 90% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.
Estimated active installs
The public count shows “30K+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 2 months ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 40K.

Great, had one issue, they solved it for me in like 2 says DURING THE HOLIDAYS!!! And keep in mind this is a free plugin, support them if you are financially able, they deserve it. Great plugin btw. using the FAQ section in conjunction with: Schema – All In One Schema Rich Snippets, and Schema & Structured Data for WP & AMP. No compatibility issues with these schema plugins, it all works and I have rich snippets up the **s this way 😀 /Schema is the future of SEO, jump on the rich snippet train while you still can, if you are a latecomer you will miss out!/ This topic was modified 3 years, 6 months ago by simonthesorcerer.
