Biggest opportunity: Swap “live chat”, “whatsapp” and “woocommerce whatsapp” for “communication”, “chat button” and “whatsapp button”. “live chat” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “communication” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “whatsapp” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “chat button” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce whatsapp” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “whatsapp button” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →26%
of downloads still active
At least 4K of 15.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Chat & Support plugin keeps 0.8%, across 629 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Chat & Support plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 4 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “live chat”, “whatsapp” and “woocommerce whatsapp” for “communication”, “chat button” and “whatsapp button”. “live chat” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “communication” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “whatsapp” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “chat button” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce whatsapp” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “whatsapp button” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “click to chat”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

I’m using this plugin on my websites (autoleasingohnebank.ch and leasingohnebank.ch), and it works perfectly. The floating WhatsApp button looks modern, the animation is smooth, and it helps visitors contact us instantly. Setup was simple, customization is easy, and it runs without any issues. It’s lightweight and does exactly what it promises. Highly recommended for any business website that wants to increase customer engagement through WhatsApp.
