What to fix first
- 1
Patch and release an advisory before anything else.
Open security vulnerability. A known unpatched vulnerability is recorded against this plugin.

Ship an update
Last release was 550 days ago. wp.org lowers a listing's search weight once it goes about 180 days without a release.

Swap “cart abandoned” for “recover abandoned cart”
“cart abandoned” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “recover abandoned cart” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- 4
One page off on “abandon cart”
#11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Needs workAI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: says what it does, names who it is for, headings and lists and tags match the text. Short description names no action; say what the plugin does for the site.

OpportunityNobody has rated this plugin, so there is no star average to show at install time and nothing for a health grade to rest on.
What to do: Run a structured in-plugin review prompt and a review campaign.
Small download base. 119 downloads in 30 days, so a -11% move is a few installs rather than a trend.
Light support activity. Few recent support threads, so there is no backlog to report.
