Biggest opportunity: Swap “sales tax” and “tax” for “tax automation” and “tax compliance”. “sales tax” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “tax automation” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “tax” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “tax compliance” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Install conversion
How it's measured →5.2%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 1.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,142 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.
This plugin shipped 3 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “sales tax” and “tax” for “tax automation” and “tax compliance”. “sales tax” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “tax automation” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “tax” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “tax compliance” sits at #18 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 “automated tax”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

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.
Release cadence
Occasionally updatedHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.
