PulseMetrics

PulseMetrics helps plugin authors understand how their WordPress.org plugins are presented, maintained, and discovered. It brings public directory data, transparent health scores, readme SEO checks, keyword-position checks, recommendations, and local history into the WordPress dashboard.

Every locally implemented feature included in this plugin is available without a license, payment, trial period, usage quota, or feature unlock. PulseMetrics includes:

• Tracking for multiple WordPress.org plugins and search phrases.
• Public plugin data and a transparent PulseMetrics health score.
• Readme and directory-page SEO analysis.
• Keyword suggestions and position checks across the first five public WordPress.org result pages (up to 120 results).
• In-dashboard notifications when meaningful plugin or ranking signals change.
• An optional daily email digest.
• A global directory rank when the local directory index is available.
• Competitor comparisons, plugin history, changes since release, and automatic tag tracking.
• Prioritized, explainable recommendations.
• Daily scheduled refreshes, manual refreshes, and locally stored history.

PulseMetrics does not collect visitor data and does not require a PulseMetrics account. It stores tracked plugin data and history in your WordPress database.

The optional commercial PRO add-on advertised on the PulseMetrics website is separate code distributed outside WordPress.org. It does not unlock bundled functionality, extend a trial, or remove limits from this plugin. This plugin never downloads or installs paid code.

Top Plugins directory research is not included in this WordPress.org plugin. That separate feature is available only in the independently distributed Premium and PRO add-ons.

Install and activate PulseMetrics, add your first WordPress.org plugin, and start turning public directory data into practical improvements.
