Biggest opportunity: “keyword research”, “keywords” and “seo” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

1.3%

of downloads still active

At least 500 of 38K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median SEO plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,191 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.

High removal-risk signals

63/100

Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.

  • Long abandoned. No update in 11+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.1.42, well behind 6.8.

    Un plugin sencillo que hace su trabajo como dice, simplemente genial! Sería la bomba si pudiera además, analizar la palabra clave, dando datos de búsquedas mensuales, dificultad, coste por click, etc.. y si además de algún modo poderte sugerir estas palabras cuando estás escribiendo el artículo ya sería perfecto. Gran trabajo!
