Optimizations

Plugin configuration 87% from 29 tests

readme.txt 88% from 16 tests

The readme.txt file is important because it is parsed by WordPress.org for the public listing of your plugin
These attributes need to be fixed:
  • Screenshots: Add a description for screenshot #3 in browser-update-ribbon/assets to your readme.txt
  • Tags: Please delete some tags, you are using 25 tag instead of maximum 10
The official readme.txt is a good inspiration

browser-update-ribbon/browser_update_ribbon.php 85% from 13 tests
