Biggest opportunity: Swap “custom shipping” for “packaging”. “custom shipping” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “packaging” sits at #21 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 →8.5%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 11.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,770 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized 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 5 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.

We’ve been using Clickship to get our heavy products (bike racks, so lots of steel) into customer hands for over two years. With their plugin, our customers get the best rates from Fedex, UPS, Purolator and others, and we have a complete shipping solution that adds the prices onto the the sales at checkout. Based on the size, weight and number of boxes this plugin will give your customers the current pricing for shipping their purchases. Their support is outstanding and I HIGHLY recommend this plugin for your website. A shout-out to Jabine Nubheebucus who helped us get our box configuration sorted. People like her are what make tech companies successful. This topic was modified 3 years, 2 months ago by wesmacaulay. This topic was modified 3 years, 2 months ago by wesmacaulay.
