Biggest opportunity: “ads”, “aliexpress” and “importer” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 30 of 24.1K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,161 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.35, well behind 6.8.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |

This product works very well with aliexpress. I received my API key after being patient and waiting for aliexpress to review my request. Great plug in, Great job! thanks to the developers
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ lemystere9.1y ago
After I activated the plugin, I went over to the Aliexpress portal to sign up for the required API. When I registered, the entire page was blank, except for the header menu. Clicking on each menu option, yields another blank page. I then emailed Aliexpress, and they stated in their one and only reply, that they do not provide publishers with APIs anymore, and if I was getting the API for a plugin, they did not authorize any of the plugins that use their API. The latter answer was not even a question I asked. I never mentioned a plugin. So there you have it. This plugin will not work, if you are in need of a new API. I hope the publisher fixes this plugin so that it doesn’t need the API, and updates it to reflect this. BTW: I replied to their email, and asked if they were planning to reinstate the API in the future. You guessed it: no reply back. In addition, if you check the Aliexpress Portal Facebook page, they haven’t been getting back to people for months (probably, almost a year now). Their issues range from getting an API, to actually getting paid through affiliate links – meaning, they aren’t getting paid. Thanks for reading.

Aliexpress does not provide api keys any more. Pfff Your application has been submitted successfully! We are processing it now and the audication period should last 5 working days. I wrote email to them and asked why. They told policy changed

Great Plugin! The only thing I would add is a spot to save the URL when not redirecting back to aliexpres. Some of us use this tool as more of a drop shipping tool so wee set up the products as individual and not affiliate. It would be handy to have the link right there. Keep up the great work!

I am completely shocked. This plugin is so amazing. It’s better than ANY paid aliexpress affiliate plugin. I love the option of price formula and publishing as normal product. This way, you can create a dropshipping site within seconds! If you could add a place in woocommerce, under individual product configuration, where one could see the link to aliexpress product that would be even more awesome. So if someone has dropshipping site, you could easily find respected link and purchase the product. The plugin is amazing and SUPER EASY to use. Love it!
