Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WhoKnew Directory SEO – Repository Ranking & Readme Optimizer

No account required. The plugin connects to the whoknew.io service automatically using your site's domain as an anonymous identifier. The free whoknew.io service plan includes 10 API credits per month — enough to keep tabs on your most important keywords. Credits represent actual API processing on whoknew.io's servers, not a lock on local plugin features. For higher credit limits and Pro features like competitor keyword intelligence, upgrade at whoknew.io and enter a licence key.

The ranking algorithm must query the WordPress.org Plugin Directory API, score hundreds of results using a multi-signal model, and cache those results in a shared pool. If every user's WordPress site made these calls directly, each site's IP address would independently hit WordPress.org on every scan — risking rate-limiting or blocking by WordPress.org for that user. whoknew.io acts as a shared, caching proxy: it absorbs the API calls centrally, caches results across all users for the same keyword, and returns scored data to the plugin for display. The plugin itself contains no ranking algorithm — it is purely a display layer for the whoknew.io service.

After a keyword scan, WhoKnew checks your readme against the 7 fields the plugin directory indexes — name, slug, tags, short description, description, author, and contributors. It shows you which fields contain your keyword and which don't, then gives you specific suggestions for each missing field. The plugin directory weights these fields differently, so fixing the right ones has the most impact on your ranking.

Yes. You can scan any slug listed in the plugin directory — your own or a competitor's. The Scan tab accepts any public slug from the WordPress.org plugin repository.

When you run a scan, your site's domain (as an anonymous identifier) and the keyword + slug you are scanning are sent to whoknew.io, which performs all ranking analysis on its servers. whoknew.io then queries the public WordPress.org Plugin Directory API to retrieve current search results, runs the scoring algorithm, and returns the ranked results to your plugin. No visitor data, email addresses, or personally identifiable information are ever transmitted.

No. Credit usage is stored locally and refreshed once per day via WordPress Cron. Scans only run when you click "Run scan". No background tracking or passive telemetry occurs.

The "How ranking works" content is based on the public plugin directory source code (meta.trac.wordpress.org). We call its public APIs and explain the documented repository ranking logic — we don't host or modify WordPress.org in any way.
