Biggest opportunity: “countdown timer” and “woocommerce countdown timer” 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 100 of 8.3K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,143 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.5.33, well behind 6.8.

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.

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.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Jasper7.8y ago
Normally I don’t like trying old, non-updated plugins but I figured with a plugin that just displays a JavaScript countdown based on local WordPress timezones settings, not many thing can go wrong. and that’s true: the plugin still works perfectly even after 3 years of no updates 🙂 Thanks!

This plugin is what i need, would be nice to set the counter for more hours on the weekend Thanks!

We love this feature, glad I found it. Will give your ecommerce site that added polish. Another great option would be the ability to add a list of “holiday” dates to automatically suspend shipping. I love it.

This plugin looks very promising and easy to work with. Great for flash sale sites like the one i am working on. It would be even greater if developer adds in the feature for period sales. Rather than next day shipping, I have sales periods and all orders will be shipped out after that period. Would be great if the counter can be set to 2-3 weeks, for example. Thanks!
