Optimizations

Plugin configuration 86% from 29 tests

readme.txt 94% from 16 tests

Perhaps the most important file in your plugin readme.txt gets parsed in order to generate the public listing of your plugin
Attributes that require attention:
  • Tags: You are using too many tags: 15 tag instead of maximum 10
The official readme.txt is a good inspiration

evolution-sidebar-box/ah-sidebar-box.php 77% from 13 tests

The primary PHP file in "AH Sidebar Box" version 1.1.2 is used by WordPress to initiate all plugin functionality
Please take the time to fix the following:
  • Description: Keep the plugin description shorter than 140 characters (currently 175 characters long)
  • Text Domain: The text domain name must use dashes instead of underscores, and it must be lowercase
  • Main file name: The principal plugin file should be the same as the plugin slug ("evolution-sidebar-box.php" instead of "ah-sidebar-box.php")
