Biggest opportunity: “abandoned carts”, “campaign” and “marketing” 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.

How it's measured →5.0%
of downloads still active
At least 300 of 6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Email & Marketing plugin keeps 0.9%, across 1,294 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Email & Marketing 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

- Not actively maintained. No update in about 2 years.
- No tested-up-to version. The listing declares no "Tested up to" version.

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.

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
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Facebook ads started performing poorly, so we were looking for new streams of revenue, and that’s the place where CartFox jumped in and helped us

I must say this is a very productive plugin. Kudos to the developers. I only came across it quite recently and I was very skeptical about its promises. Now, It is already bringing a turnaround to my platform. The SMS reminder is genius! Would definitely recommend.

This is really amazing plugin to boost your sales in no time. I can now remind my customers about their draft orders and they can easily complete the purchase through the link after getting SMS. Quite impressive script to use for boosting my business. All thanks to developers.

I decided to try CartFox on our online store to catch some extra dough before this year’s halloween. With 10€ credit we made 430€ profit 😂😂 It’s relatively easy to set up, but I had some issues with our version of WordPress and I contacted their support team, which is very friendly! Overall, great plugin, will keep using!
