Biggest opportunity: “age verification”, “shop” and “woocommerce” 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 100 of 8.7K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,139 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| tobacco your tag | #10 | #14 | 0 |
| alcohol your tag | #24 | #24 | 0 |
| age verification your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| shop your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| woocommerce your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
5 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 2 listed. 3 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.
Estimated active installs

THIS PLUGIN SHOULD BE MARKED AS ‘NO LONGER BEING UPDATED’! Worked fine initially, then suddenly stopped working, lets you select your date of birth but nothing happens when you click the button. I notified the plugin creator who said they weren’t working on it any more and wanted 100 Euros per hour to fix it!

Works perfectly on Woocommerce and ShoppingCart Theme. Does the job exactly like it says it does. Needed to protect certain product from under age visitors to the store, and this worked out of the box. Obviously you can’t stop anyone from putting in a false age, but then as long as you have done your part to protect the products from minors, your job is done. Has plenty of different options to look good on your site.

When someone clicks NO, nothing happens and should at least be sent to the home page. So, a person who clicks NO is locked forever, unless they click YES. This topic was modified 6 years, 1 month ago by zurga.
