Biggest opportunity: Swap “whatsapp”, “chat” and “live chat” for “contact buttons”, “sms contact” and “chat software”. “whatsapp” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “contact buttons” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “chat” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #22. “sms contact” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “live chat” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “chat software” sits at #7 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 →11%
of downloads still active
At least 50K of 472K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Chat & Support plugin keeps 0.8%, across 627 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 6 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 “whatsapp”, “chat” and “live chat” for “contact buttons”, “sms contact” and “chat software”. “whatsapp” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “contact buttons” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “chat” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #22. “sms contact” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “live chat” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “chat software” sits at #7 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 “live chat”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Mình thấy cần thêm phần sắp xếp thứ tự các nút. Với phần nhập số điện thoại nhập kiểu gì củng báo không đúng định dạng. Mình nghĩ nên để nhập số tự do và Plugin sẽ tự định dạng. This topic was modified 1 year, 9 months ago by toidq.
