Biggest opportunity: Add “summaries”, “ai summary” and “summary” to your wp.org tags. You rank #6, #11 and #12 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 3 listed these are the slots worth spending.

1.0%

of downloads still active

At least 90 of 9.1K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median AI plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,009 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other AI 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 29 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.

Directory rank

Ranked about #16,800 to #17,400, alongside the other plugins at 90+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.

Update activity

Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.

Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated active installs

The public count shows “90+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.

tracked estimate
90–100 ≈91

Crossed into this band 21 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 90.

At the current install trend, crossing 100+ in roughly 77 days.

    Support is an A+! The developer is very easy to work with and added new features within hours after inquiring.

    I’m using this for news publishing, works great, the design of the plugin is well thought-through and the features are good and they work. I’m using the Pro version, finding it useful and works for me to show summaries on my different content types. You can regenerate summaries, edit them directly, delete them, generate them in batch mode and augment with custom prompt hints, among other good stuff. Good features and options and the developer is actively supporting and enhancing it.

    WPSummarize is a fully customizable and easy-to-use plugin. This is ideal for providing readers with a summary of blog posts with a large number of words, and I highly recommend it.

    Le plugin tient bien la promesse de générer des résumés IA de qualité pour chaque article. L’avantage est que cela utilise notre clé API Open AI (donc le coût par génération est ridiculement faible) – donc aucun abonnement supplémentaire. Enfin, c’est largement personnalisable (en CSS et avec modifications du titre, sous-titre et texte affiché sous le résumé) et le développeur est réactif pour améliorer ou corriger le plugin (il manquait notamment le support de articles planifiés qu’il a rajouté en quelques heures suite à ma demande). — The plugin delivers on its promise of generating quality AI summaries for each article. The advantage is that it uses our Open AI API key (so the cost per generation is ridiculously low) – so no additional subscription. Finally, it’s widely customizable (in CSS and with changes to the title, subtitle, and text displayed below the summary) and the developer is responsive to improving or correcting the plugin (in particular, it lacked support for scheduled articles, which he added in a few hours following my request).

    Fantastic plugin and the support is second to none. Can’t recommend enough if you are looking to summarise articles and content on your WordPress site.

    The summaries are great, the Bulk Process works fast, support is superb, and the plugin also comes with lots of settings so it can be configured to my needs.I tested it on a test site yesterday. It worked and looked good but I couldn’t find some stuff (due to being too tired of trying so many summarizing plugins before) but the developer was very fast to respond here and via email.I found what I was looking for and tested it on 2 different sites. I found a small bug on the second site and the developer pushed a fix in less than 20 minutes. That’s amazing and I really appreciate it.
