Biggest opportunity: Add “seo title” to your wp.org tags. You rank #19 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed it's a slot worth spending.

How it's measured →3.7%
of downloads still active
At least 900 of 24.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above 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 1 release 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.

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.

If you post every day, you know how hard it can be to ensure every post has a unique title. No matter how hard I try, I eventually have a clever idea that I’ve already had before! Save yourself the embarrassment in your own mind with this simple and straightforward extension! The developer is responsive to down reports as well, so don’t be discouraged if you run into trouble like I did!
