How it's measured →5.1%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 19.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,155 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 1 release 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.

22 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 10 listed. 12 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- One page off on “cron job”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “woocommerce” isn't earning a slot. You list it, but you're not in the first 24 results for that search. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

Misleading, the free version is unusefull, unfortunately
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ richardmichael1.8y ago
The free version no longer has buttons to manually purge scheduled actions, but the plugin page would make you think otherwise. You have to waste your time to find out the truth, and for wasting time I rate this plugin 1 out of 5.

Too useful for large websites.

Works perfect!

With the new update the free plugin became useless. It no longer allows you to clean the actions manually. This topic was modified 2 years, 8 months ago by jubilo. This topic was modified 2 years, 8 months ago by jubilo.
