Biggest opportunity: Swap “generator” and “site map” for “news sitemap” and “page”. “generator” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “news sitemap” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “site map” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #19. “page” sits at #9 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 →5.5%
of downloads still active
At least 200K of 3.6M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median SEO plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,194 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “generator” and “site map” for “news sitemap” and “page”. “generator” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “news sitemap” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “site map” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #19. “page” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
