Optimizations

Plugin configuration 86% from 29 tests

readme.txt 94% from 16 tests

You should put a lot of thought into formatting readme.txt as it is used by WordPress.org to prepare the public listing of your plugin
These attributes need your attention:
  • Tags: Too many tags (24 tag instead of maximum 10); only the first 5 tags are used in your directory listing
The official readme.txt might help

martins-link-network/martinsLinkNetwork.php 77% from 13 tests

The main file in "Martins Free & Easy SEO BackLink Link Building Network - Improve Rankings & Traffic" v. 1.2.33 serves as a complement to information provided in readme.txt and as the entry point to the plugin
Please take the time to fix the following:
  • Domain Path: The domain path points to a folder that does not exist ("/languages")
  • Description: The description should be shorter than 140 characters (currently 167 characters long)
  • Main file name: It is recommended to name the main PHP file as the plugin slug ("martins-link-network.php" instead of "martinsLinkNetwork.php")
