Biggest opportunity: “cart”, “headless” and “rest api” 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 →1.8%
of downloads still active
At least 200 of 10.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,168 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| decoupled your tag | #22 | #24 | down 2 |
| cart your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| headless your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| rest api your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| woocommerce your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
5 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 4 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
