Biggest opportunity: “cart link”, “cart url” and “custom add to cart link” 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 700 of 11.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,166 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.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance 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 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 6.4.14.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| cart link your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| cart url your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| custom add to cart link your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| custom cart link your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| link to cart your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Looking for a WordPress plugin that’s smoother than butter on a hot pancake? Well, this little gem lets you add products in cart link faster than a shopaholic with a credit card!Name your links whatever your heart desires – want to call your cart ‘../my-customer-preferred’? Go for it! Your regular customers will love you for it, as they can now zip straight to their favorite goodies without playing ‘Where’s Waldo?’ on your website.For those repeat customers, it’s like giving them a VIP fast-pass to their shopping happiness. One click and BAM! – they’re ready to check out faster than you can say ‘take my money!’It’s so simple, even your cat could probably use it… if they had thumbs and a credit card, that is! 😄

This is a plugin that came in very handy for me, thanks a lot for this. One idea for future revisions is a button so one click copies the new permanent link created. Unless I am missing something I currently have to rightclick and copy, a bit tedious for 100s of links. Thanks again five stars for usability and simplicity

I recently installed the plugin and it works great. It’s a small task but it delivers just as it promises. I was missing a tiny feature so i wrote a topic in the support. Within a couple of days the feature was added and a new version released. So cool! Great plugin. Great support!
