1.4%

of downloads still active

At least 70 of 5.1K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,151 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.

recent half vs earlier

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
dev4press your tag	#14	#10	down 1
lorem ipsum your tag	#22	#20	down 1
lorem ipsum generator	#11	#10	0
lorem	#24	#21	0
ipsum	#24	#22	0
bbpress your tag	Not in the top 24
demo data your tag	Not in the top 24
woocommerce your tag	Not in the top 24

8 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 5 listed. 3 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

What to do about it

One page off on “dev4press”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
“bbpress”, “demo data” and “woocommerce” 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.

This is really useful. It let me set up a big web site full of fake data to do some load testing. No troubles, just works. Thanks Milan!

Most comprehensive and easy to use content creation tool ever. Lots of options for creating pages, posts, and comments. Works great with bbpress (which for me is what really really makes this plugin shine). An absolute must for designers and developers. Cannot express how much I appreciate this great plugin! Extremely useful. This topic was modified 5 years, 7 months ago by philo351.
