What to fix first

Set "Tested up to" to WordPress 7.1
Tested up to WordPress 5.8.19; the current branch is 7.1. Matching the current branch keeps its full search weight.
- 3
“ecommerce”, “shipping” and “woocommerce shipping” aren't earning a slot
You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.
