Biggest opportunity: Swap “content analysis” and “readability” for “keyword research” and “realtime”. “content analysis” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “keyword research” sits at #16 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “readability” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “realtime” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →0.5%
of downloads still active
At least 400 of 79.1K 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 4 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.

The tool itself is great, with lots of great features which I was able to benefit via the AppSumo deal. It’s very intuitive and the interface is simple and easy to get the hang of. The biggest bug bear for me is every time I log into my WordPress site, I keep having to also log into the app which is a nuisance. I don’t have those issues with other apps that I have log-ins for.

I bought the premium version of WebTextTool on AppSumo and upgraded when they ran their promo. I find them worth every single cent, especially with new features like the Text Conversion Optimizer. Mind you, I’m also on Yoast Premium
